Don't waste this dance on me my love Step and glide the way you do And let me watch the turns and move My heart if not my feet with you Don't think about me dreaming here I will see you fly away While in my head you hold me dear And whirl me off my feet of clay Where was I when grace was given Not to fall when turning round I've no faith in earth or heaven Not to move my standing ground Don't waste your life on me my love Live and breathe the way you do No butterfly to be pinned down And kept forever through and through But if your love should cross with mine I will be here on your side As long as you want me to be I'll not be going far or wide Running, walking, standing still Sitting, laughing that I can do And wishing, wishing It could be me to dance with you
