Neruda - Solitary Shadow In A Tango lyrics

rate me

Was that your foot I stepped on to?<br />

Or am I just too fast?<br />

I did rehearse the steps you turn left while I go right<br />

The gentle wind that blew your hair<br />

To your shoulders I just stared<br />

I watched the shadows of both of us<br />

Swaying swiftly in a moonlit night<br />

<br />

One, two, wish I could I count forever<br />

<br />

As we held hands our head up high<br />

You closed your eyes I felt you sigh<br />

Then I held you near me, you whispered softly<br />

Don't let me, don't let me dance alone<br />

<br />

I ran my fingers thru your hair<br />

It felt like you were never there<br />

I searched the shadows of both of us<br />

Empty, barely seeing light<br />

<br />

One, two, wish I could count forever, <br />

Couldn't count forever<br />

<br />

But your minds made up, I never learned<br />

You let me dance<br />

<br />

As we slip hands I asked you why<br />

Don't hide your eyes I see you cry<br />

When I learned with you, this dance called tango<br />

I never thought that you'd let go<br />

But your minds made up, I never learned<br />

You turned your back and never to return<br />

Can't hold you near me, to say to you softly<br />

You let me, you let me dance<br />

<br />

I guess I said I won't let you dance alone<br />

But you let me dance alone<br />

In this dance called tango
