A Memory of Silence
It was just a simple country barn dance
On a little farm outside Abilene
Her brown eyes would flash "won't you take a chance?"
Her feet were smooth as a dancing machine
On a little farm outside Abilene
Our eyes met as if we had always known
Her feet were smooth as a dancing machine
Our thoughts were one as if we were alone
Our eyes met as if we had always known
This time should come within our lives just now
Our thoughts were one as if we were alone
As we danced together and loved somehow
This time should come within our lives just now
While in our silence the music still played
As we danced together and loved somehow
She brushed my lips and she was gone - I stayed
While in our silence the music still played
She never told me her name or asked mine
She brushed my lips and she was gone - I stayed
Now I am old and she left me behind
She never told me her name or asked mine
Her brown eyes would flash, "won't you take a chance?"
Now I am old and she left me behind
It was just a simple country barn dance
