I’d Like to Dedicate This to Teresa.
She Was A Friend Of My Mother’s,
And A Ravishing Latin Beauty -
The Most Beautiful Woman I’d Ever Seen.
She’d Be In Her 80's Now, And
Young People Probably Pass Her On The Street And
Think, "Little Old Lady," Without Ever Knowing . . .
*
But I Remember.
I Remember How She Danced
To Chico's Band,
And How Men would fall At Her Feet.
I Remember How Even I, As A Child,
Wanted To Fall At Her Feet.
*
Yes,
I Remember, "Cha Cha."
I Remember The Chill I Would Feel
When You Touched my face.
Oh Yes,
I Remember.
I Still Remember Your Ravishing Beauty
And Grace.
And Oh,
How You Could Dance!
Your Undulating Body Seemed
To Float Above The Floor
As It Sang A Titillating Serenade
To The Music Below.
And
In My Mind’s Eye,
You Still Dance.
You Continue to be Young And Beautiful,
And You'll Dance On Forever,
As Long As There's Breath In My Body.
*
So
Dance On, Sweet Princess.
Dance On . . .
