The Dance
Laura Clark 1986 (Attleboro)
I danced with him a couple times
and now he thinks he owns me.
He knows I am devoted
and thinks he is my only.
He is with me day and night
and still I feel so lonely.
Someone must've heard my prayers
as I laid wrapped in his arms.
Suddenly a little light
and I could see through all his charms.
As I stood unafraid prepared to take this leap.
I prayed our Father knew my soul
was only his to keep.
It was you God who rescued me
regardless of my past.
I knew then when I found you Lord,
I found true love at last.
