dance of the rings

ever ever the rhythm of your dance
and dance the night with me only my kiss
love lights charm glow so low
love charms' little flames
embers flicker in your eyes

tender embrace firm and strong
lock me lock me up never leave
arms both meet inside never let me free
a ring be within a ring a kiss within a kiss
your paradise paradise of you
forever in for ever eternal in eternity

round and around and
a ring and around
ring around ring around
bells peal ringing ring
ring around

doves courting circling
stepping circles in circles
wonderful true worlds turn
be one
meet in your arms in mine

weaving woven waving
your hair
around bind bound binded 
bringing
bounding binding bound
and over over inside again
together over over

circling of my arms
yours in mine
let me lead your steps
follow turn gentle
touch and embrace
stepping easy circles

only you ring of rings
hold me in your embrace
doves courting circling
darling

round around around
dance dance dancing
stepping circles in circles

weaving woven waving bound binding 
swung back and forth once more singing swinging
bells toll tolling
cycling circles around over and over
come back come around over and over and under

fine chains that all glittering sparkle glitter
you are joy hope love long alive living
silver gold and pearls glow
graceful about your necklace jewels
brightly diamonds
rubies and emeralds sapphires shine
and sparkle

sleepy doves' eyes through your veil
around you
long woven your straight plaited hair
your brown hair sheen touch and stroke

once more oh only once more
turning singing swinging cycles
around over and over and over again
over and over
come back come around
over and over around bind bound
round around and round

mine touch my face your brown hair sheen
ring of your embrace and touch of touch

cheek to cheek and
you with me only you only me
heavan heavan im in heavan
dance dancing only with you
im in heavan

marriage made of paradise
love gifts from heavan
my prize my whole world for me
in joyous wedded bells
lady of the ringing
you shall be queen of the rings
