Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love

Oh, let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon

This is so nice!

We read this song to each other as part of our wedding vows. And a friend read June & Johnny's Cash 'Happiness is you'. Not a dry eye in the house.

Wonder what tune Leonard is dancing to? For all his great music contributions; I thought it fitting to include his dancing too.

Oh my love, oh my love
Take this waltz, take this waltz
It's yours now, it's all that there is

"It’s written in the scriptures
It’s written there in blood
And I even heard the angels declare it from above
There ain’t no cure, there ain’t no cure, there ain’t no cure for love"

-Leonard Cohen
