Teaching you to Dance (but oh, don't I love you?)

"Come on, dance with me."

"Let me take your hand and spin you."

"I won't drop you."

"I can teach you, if you trust me."

"You're so graceful! You're beautiful!"

"You just have to believe in your steps. Have confidence."

"Follow after me - one two three four,"

"And you put your foot here, lean forward - into my arms."

"I'm going to lift you, are you ready?"

"Trust in yourself! You can do it!"

"And your dress flares out, like a fire, a light!"

"Nice straight back, keep your hips still, it's all in the legs."

"You move away - then I pull you close."

"You want me - you can't have me! But you want me again -"

"Close, closer, there we go, body to body -"

"I need to feel your heartbeat, we move as one."

"Each step is us, together."

"My hand around your waist, like this. Yours around mine."

"Don't worry - it's all part of the dance."

"You have to believe it, believe that she's in love, because she is."

"It's all about the story. When they look into each other's eyes."

"Sorry, I lost - I forgot the step, let's do it again?"

"I'm going to hold your hand, but you pull away at any time."

"This is everything, throwing it all into one little moment!"

"Their eyes meet, everything in that breath - and then away! Away!"

"Mind your feet - they have to move at the same time as mine, but you can't look down."

"It has to be as natural as breathing."

"Dancing is trusting yourself entirely to your partner."

"I have to trust that you'll follow when I lead."

"I'm going to pull you close, and we'll move, but don't worry - I'm not going to let you fall."
