I've waited for your open arms;
I've felt your breath upon your smile;
I've smelled the sweetness of perfume;
This night has taken quite while.

It's been so long I've felt this rush;
Red lipsticked mouth and so soft skin;
Dazzling dress with high-heels to dance;
I can hardly breathe; the shape I'm in.

I joined a dating club for fun;
Something to do when I was bored;
Oh, I never thought I would meet;
Someone like you on this dance floor.

I know we've just met, you and I;
Is this what you call a real date?
I don't believe it's come to this,
I may be old, but you look great.
