They still dance

from Little world by Bart de Win

/

about

I wrote this for my mother, Jopie de Win

lyrics

They still dance

They still dance after more than 20 years
They still dance, no time for tears
He’s around, here and now
And when I ask her how
I can see it in her eyes

They were blessed, she still thinks of him at night
A trace of rest but the picture's much too bright
His hands, his smile
How they danced for a while
And with his step he ripped her dress

I mentioned his name
Now I know how far a vow can go
I saw the thrill at one glance
They still dance, they still dance
They still dance, they still dance

There was an oath: ‘Until death do us part’
And even now she feels it in the heart
Somehow, somewhere
She knows he’s always there
They still are one

I mentioned his name
Now I know how far a vow can go
I saw the thrill at one glance
They still dance, they still dance
They still dance, they still dance
