Of Love's What Might Have Been

 The Seasons to his life do come and do go

And he only has memories of the long ago

Of a young dancer he had a crush on but to ask her to dance was too shy

So many years since then in time has gone by

On dance night in the local hall  he could not bring himself  for to ask her to dance

In love and in life one should not shun their chance

Then in his early twenties close to his life's prime

In memory we only can go back in time

Dance and dance teaching a huge part of her life

And one lucky man in her does have a beautiful wife

He had a love crush on her many years ago

Going back in time some five decades or so

As one of the town's less confident and shy young men

He lacked the courage for to ask her out for a dance then

And all he does have are the memories today

Of love's what might have been in a town far away.
