Take a Step with Me

Take a step with me
I’ll take a step with you
One, two, three
Makes it sound easy to do
On a sawdust floor
Lights in the rafter’s above
First dance we’re together
This moment feels for-ev-er now
And that’s enough [somehow]

Do they envy us
Little bride and groom atop the wedding cake
Faces and feet fixed
While we whirl all ‘round the place
Partners slide and glide
Touching, learning to trust
First steps feel unsteady
Never really ready enough
For us
And the changing days/ways of love

If only – we’d known better
If only – we’d seen farther
If only – a raft of regrets
Forgive don’t forget
Find a new footing
Take the next step
Take a step with me…

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

Take a step with me
I’ll take a step with you
One, two, three
Makes it sound easy to do
