The Dance    (LM 199)   Don Wood

OPENER

Circle left
Looking back on the memories of
The dance we shared, beneath the stars above
Do an allemande left your corner turn the partner by the right,

then allemande your corner and  weave the ring tonight
Our lives are better left to chance
Swing your girl around and promenade her home
But I'd have had to miss the dance

FIGURE

Heads square thru from where you are
Meet the sides, make a right hand star
Heads star left and roll it once tonight
To the corner girl and you Do Sa Do tonight
Swingthru the boys tradel
Swing your corner girl and promenade her home
But I'd have had to miss the dance

Middle Break & CLOSER

Sides face, grand square
Holding you, I held everything
For a moment, wasn't I a king
If I'd only known how the king would fall
Then who's to say
Allemande left and weave around the hall
But I'm glad I didn't know, the way it all would end
The way it all would go
But I'd have had to miss the dance
