Dance with me pawlpaw, my last wish to you.
A dance at my wedding, just for me and you.
I'd twirl and spin and catch you in mid smile.
I'd hold you close and keep you for a while.
My head on your chest, your hand on my hip.
Tears of joy would stream down and rest on my lip.
With all eyes on us but my eyes on you.
I'd smile again if this wish came true.
My dress would sway, my hair would flow.
If only God left you for me here below.
Your shirt and tie would be white and black.
All nice and shaved with your hair slicked back.
And if I knew then what I know today.
I'd make sure forever, our song always played.
Not a moment of silence, no time to break.
I will need you here on my special day.
The song would keep playing again and again.
If the music kept going, there would be no end.
So pawlpaw look down do you see me below.
I'll be dressed in my best, from my head to my toes.
My arms are here waiting, with empty space.
Waiting for you to come stand in your place.
Do you need practice? You have the time.
Maybe God will show you so your steps match mine.
Seventeen days then the music will play,
And then together we will dance the night away.
I can't do this alone. Im sorry if I bother.
But one last dance please. Signed your granddaughter.
