Hetty's Waltz from Rise Aurora by Rosie Hodgson

"Come take my hand won't you do me a favour
Won't you come dance with me?", says Hetty to Joe,
"Can't promise I will be much of a mover,
But I promise I'll try not to step on your toes."

"Look we're in luck", she says, "the next ones the waltz,
And I'm pretty sure I know how this one goes –
Your hand on my waist and mine on your shoulder,
It's one, two, three; one, two, three; over and over..."

"Wasn't it you I saw last week at the movies?
We were too shy to say hello.
Maybe we're neither quite as brave as we could be,
But I'd let you kiss me if you'd walk me home."

"Let's take the 10.50 right past the Minster,
A tower so proud reaching right to the sky."
Joe says to Hetty, "Love, I'll make you a wager:
There's no-one in this wide world as in love as I..."

"It's been a lifetime that we've had together,
But just one more time darling, before you go,
Come take my hand won't you do me a favour
Won't you come dance with me?" says Hetty to Joe.
