stealing romance

i get away stealing romance

from those who have left it behind

i'll be the step in your slow dance

this time

why feel foolish? we're smiling

a grade school romance with wine

i'll be the tick-tock in your wristwatch

be mine

a break in the rain that's real

nothing's the same and still

like home life

fall in the park under rain clouds

a shot in the dark for a kiss

a heart to restore to an old life

to miss

i get away stealing romance

i've come by it fairly

it's true

there's grace and a smile and a slow dance

and you
