My First Dance

Location

I just want to sweep you off your feet,
Swinging, swaying, dancing cheek to cheek
But everybody knows 
That's so hard to do
While I'm stepping on your toes
And it's true, so true,
On this my first dance with you.
 
Tonight is the night
It's finally here
The night of all nights 
To hold you near
This is the sight
I get to see 
The beauty of my fears
Being set free.
 
The music is playing
Softly at first
And all I am saying 
Is my heart's gonna burst
There is naught delaying
Me holding my bride
Your dance partner's the worst
But you're stuck by my side.
 
I just want to sweep you off your feet,
Swinging, swaying, dancing cheek to cheek.
Yet everybody knows 
That's so hard to do
When I'm stepping on your toes
And it's true, so true,
On this my first dance with you.
