Suddenly a note lands in my hand,
Indicating the day of his birth,
Requesting me to speak his name,
And also to mention his age.
A handsome young man leads the chain dance.
I sense all the ladies conversing about him,
Young and old are talking about him.
Around his neck hangs the symbol of Lamassu.
My eyes are locked on him,
I worry I will make a mistake in my performance and muddle my lyrics,
And worry the band will notice something is wrong,
As they can tell this is unlike my normal performance.
He left the chain dance and approached the stage.
It appears he is heading directly towards me.
When he reaches me, he requests a photo with me.
He doesn't realise the world disappears before my eyes.
I will burn all the other photos I have on stage,
If only to keep his memory alive with this photo alone.
I have spent my life entertaining at parties,
How have I never met these eyes of his before?
I wish I could invite him to another party of mine,
To see him again.
If I get another chance I will speak to him
And express how I feel.
A handsome young man leads the chain dance
I sense all the ladies conversing about him,
Young and old are talking about him.
Around his neck hangs the symbol of Lamassu.
