lyrics

V1- He sees those pretty white skates
On a pretty red-haired girl
Graceful and elegant soft locks of her hair swirl
Flowing round and round on a sparkling floor
Clockwise and counter, and her smile he adores
***
He’ll ask her to join him on the next “couples” skate
His turn soon will come and he won’t have to wait
To sing her sweet songs, as together they pace
And he’ll spin her around in her pretty white skates
***
V-2 Well, soon they will see they were meant for no other
They find their joy in their moments together
Sweetly he summons for her hand for life
She smiles and she nods, her eyes glimmer in delight
***
They’ll steal away one day off to a secret little spot
Just over the border, they tie their wedding knot
One little red-haired sweetheart and one tall handsome man, weave together their lives
And start making their plans
***
Bridge - Let’s pack up and move, they say over time
To sunsets and beaches and adventures sublime
With children in tow and a haphazard old tent
They head across America, their ambitions well-spent
***
V-3 Their dreams become real as together they share
A rich life with hard times yet good times to spare
T’was a long time ago since that first sweet glance
But still they find the time just to stop and to dance
When he’ll hum those sweet songs
With their eyes closed they’ll pace
And he’ll spin her around in her pretty white skates
Oh, he’ll spin her around in her pretty white skates
***
