THE RESTING DANCER
Words and Music: Timothy A. Braswell

SHE HAS BUT ONE TRUE LOVE SEEN AS A SILENT DOVE
TELLING STORIES UPON A STAGE
MUSIC SOFTLY TURNS HER PAGE
A GOWN OF GAUZE ADORNS HER FAIR
A RINGLET IN HER GOLDEN HAIR
CASCADING FLOWERS FALL TO HER FEET
AND PAINT THE STAGE FROM GREY TO PINK
LIKE A SOFT AND SILENT SWAN
THE MUSIC FADES AND SHE IS GONE
THE LIGHTS GO DOWN BUT I HAVE SEEN HER
SHE BECOMES THE RESTING DANCER
GRACE AND POISE AGAIN TO DANCE
THE CURTIANS RISE ON HER ROMANCE
IN THE APPLAUSE THE MUSIC SWELLS
IN MAJESTIC DANCE THE STORY SHE TELLS
AS IF ON STRINGS UNSEEN
SHE LEEPS AND SPINS TO HER KNEE
THE STORY IS ENDING A MUSIC REFRAIN
FROM MIRRORS TO FACES SHE'LL DANCE AGAIN
LIKE A SOFT AND SILENT SWAN
THE MUSIC FADES AND SHE IS GONE
THE LIGHTS GO DOWN BUT I HAVE SEEN HER
SHE BECOMES THE RESTING DANCER
ON A BENCH IN THE SUMMER SUN
SHE DOESN'T MOVE SHE'S MADE OF BRONZE
SHE DOESN'T KNOW THAT I CAN SEE HER
SHE'S BECOME THE RESTING DANCER
LIKE A SOFT AND SILENT SWAN
THE MUSIC FADES AND SHE IS GONE
THE SUN GOES DOWN BUT I CAN SEE HER
SHE'S BECOME THE RESTING DANCER
SHE DOESN'T KNOW THAT I CAN SEE HER
BEAUTY IN BRONZE THE RESTING DANCER
THE RESTING DANCER
