Dirty Dancing

The image flickered on the screen
Of dancers entwined in a sultry scene
When music set the Bacchanal mood
And the innocent believed in their cozy brood

It was a summer so long ago
When hearts were young and our souls aglow

We plunged right in, we knew the score
We wanted the fantasy and so much more
We understood that time had past
But trusted still that the joy would last

It was a summer so long ago
When hearts were young and our souls aglow

A bittersweet triumph of old and young
Learning the words to songs unsung
Understanding that from now on
The world was waking to a brand new dawn

It was a summer so long ago
When hearts were young, and our souls aglow

And now years away from that misty age
The music still rattles the sleepers cage
Calling out to the ghosts gone by
Bringing laughter, joy & and sad, sweet sigh.

It was a summer so long ago
When hearts were young, and our souls aglow.
