So We Got a Little Crazy
So we got a little crazy
When the clock struck twenty-three
As the waiters in their penguin suits
Served champagne to you and me.
"Come here often?" asked your dark eyes
"No, not once." replied my own
"Then, you're lost and I have found you."
"Can I escort you back home?"
"You're a bold one aren't you, darling?"
"No, I'm really kind of shy."
And we did a silent tango
As you looked me in the eye.
"Care to dance?" you asked politely
As you pulled me to the floor
"No, not really." I protested
"I don't do dancing anymore."
"Is that a fact, now?" as you swirled me
And my hips began to sway
Your hand gliding down my bare back
As inhibitions fled away.
"More champagne?" you breathed in my ear
"I dare not." I tried to speak
But you pulled me closer to you
And my lips fell on your cheek.
"Waiter, bring another bottle!"
Sliding back the velvet chair
And we talked for thirty hours
Till no waiters waited there.
Then I sat on the piano
As you played "Tenderly" for me
In your bare-feet and my bare-feet
Till the clock struck eighty-three.
I was just in town for four days
You were just in town for ten
And you had no time for chasing
And I had no time for men.
But there was something in your dark eyes
And the way you sang a song
Made me wish I had a songbook
And that I could sing along.
Round 'bout dawn we heard a bell chime
And a sleeping waiter's snore
We put our shoes on and we tiptoed
Through the room and out the door.
In the shadow of the awning
You pulled me to you in the mist
Kissed my mouth with such conviction
That I knew that I'd been kissed.
"It's been great." I murmured softly
"Yes." you said with some delay
Then we got a little crazy
And both turned and walked away.

Loved the scenario and the piano music. I don't think I would have let her walk away! Just saying!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell...they both got crazy, right??? lol
DeleteCrazy! Yes. But I loved the tour through the evening you gave!
DeleteI read this at a literary festival here once and stopped before I got to the end
Deleteand you should have heard the gasps and people saying..You've got to tell us
how the story ended!!!! (but I didn't) lol
So how did the story end? My Friend!! (with a capital "F")
DeleteLiterally.....we walked away in different directions.....
DeleteIt was probably best!
DeleteSo you got a little crazy
ReplyDeleteThat shouldn’t surprise me
You should sometimes let your hair down
And feel so alive and free.
Who cares what other people say
It isn’t their life to live
Go and have some fun my friend
For life has so much more to give.
But don’t forget your passion
For the romance in your heart
It’s the one thing that truly matters
When your world falls all apart.
I’d forgotten about this one…. It really had me all the way through……
Still love it! ❤️🌹
thank you! lovely. Today is Bear's birthday....sad day
DeleteIt’s gotta be rough…. But don’t cry…. Shopgirl.
DeleteBear's brother has cancer. He was in remission but he came out of it.
DeleteI'm sure you know more about that than me. He and I are the same age. lol I know! I know! Weird, huh? But please pray for Rob. I can't take losing anymore family. sigh.

Deletethank you. I'm just ok. you?
