Shall We Dance Page #7

"But a lot has changed for both of us

over the last few months.

"When my partner and I

went to Blackpool last year...

we were so excited

to make it to the finals.

"Everyone was convinced

that we were going to win.

And we wanted

to prove them right.

"We'd been together as a couple

for as long as we'd been partners.

"But we began training too hard.

Pushing each other. Expecting too much.

"Well, we didn't win.

Not even close.

"I came back without

my trophy or my partner.

"And all this time I've been

hiding out at Miss Mitzi's.

Angry at myself.

Frustrated and embarrassed.

"But coaching you and Bobbie,

seeing how alive you were out there...

made me realize

just how much I'd given up.

"And now,

for the first time in a long time...

I want to dance again.

"So I need to thank you -

thank you for helping me to see this.

"I hope I get to see you and dance

with you once more before I leave.

"Paulina."

Thanks.

By the way, I'm not

going to this party.

Oh, OK.

But you're not

giving up dancing, are you?

You could...

teach me to dance.

Beverly, I'm not

dancing anymore.

Why not, Dad?

Why don't you teach

Mom how to dance?

The one thing I am proudest

of in my whole life...

is that you are happy with me.

If I couldn't... if I couldn't tell you

that I was unhappy sometimes,

it was because I didn't want to risk

hurting the one person I treasure most.

I'm so sorry.

# The book of love

# Is long and boring

# And no one can lift

the damn thing

# It's full of charts

# And facts and figures

# And instructions for dancing

# But I...

# I love it when you read to me

# And you

# You can read me anything

# The book of love

#Has music in it

# In fact, that's where

music comes from

# Some of it's just

transcendental

# Some of it's just

really dumb

# But I...

So, John, I'll see you

at the party, huh?

# I love it when you sing to me

# And you

# You can sing me anything

# The book of love

is long and boring

# And written very long ago

# It's full of flowers

and heart-shaped boxes

# And things we're all

too young to know

# But I...

# I love it when you

give me things

# And you

# You ought to give me

wedding rings

# The book of love

has music in it

# In fact, that's where

music comes from

# Some of it's just

transcendental...

I like this palette.

It looks lovely.

I just am now worried, though,

that these guys are too dark...

# But I...

# I love it when you sing to me

# And you

# You can sing me anything

It's a silly rose.

It's beautiful.

Why aren't you at the party?

Oh, because it's a dance,

and to dance you need a partner and...

my partner is right here.

Beverly... dance with me.

I don't know how.

- Yeah, you do.

- No, I don't.

You've been dancing with me

for 19 years.

But I don't know the steps.

I'll teach you.

Here?

Right now.

# And you

# You ought to give me

wedding rings

# And I

# I love it when

you give me things

# And you

# You ought to give me

wedding rings

# You ought to give me

# Wedding rings

And now Paulina will choose her partner

for her special farewell dance.

Paulina.

- You taught me well. Come on.

- It'd be my pleasure.

- Let me show you how much I learned.

- I'm available.

There's John!

- Come on!

- Come on!

Shall we dance, Mr. Clark?

I would love to.

- Beverly, this is Paulina.

- Hi. Nice to meet you.

- C'mon, c'mon. C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.

- Thank you.

Come on, let's go dance.

# When the rumba rhythmn's

started to play

# Dance with me

# Make me sway

# Like a lazy ocean

hugs the shore

# Hold me close

# Sway me more

# Like a flower bending

in the breeze

# Bend with me

# Sway with ease

# When we dance

you have a way with me

# Stay with me

# Sway with me

# Other dancers may be

on the floor

# Yeah but my eyes

will see only you

# Only you have

that magic technique

- # When we sway I go weak

- # I go so weak

# I can hear the sound of violins

# Long before it begins

# Make me thrill

as only you know how

# Sway me smooth

Sway me now

# Mi amor

# Sway me

# Take me

# Thrill me

# Hold me

# Bend me

# Ease me

# You have a way with me

# Yeah, yeah

# Sway me

# Other dancers may be

on the floor

# Yeah but my eyes

will see only you

# Only you have that

magic technique

# When we sway I go weak

# I go weak

# I can hear the sound of violins

# Long before it begins

# Make me thrill

as only you know how

# Sway me smooth

Sway me now

# Make me thrill

as only you know how

# Sway me smooth

Sway me now

# Yeah

# Yeah, yeah

# Let's dance

# Put on your red shoes

and dance the blues

# Let's dance

# To the song

they're playing on the radio

# Let's sway

# Let's sway

While color lights up your face

# Let's sway

# Let's sway through the crowd

to an empty space

# C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

#If you say "Run"

# I'll run with you

# And if you say "Hide"

# We'll hide

# Because my love for you

# Would brake my heart in two

# If you should fall

Into my arms

# Tremble like a flower

# Take me to the floor

# Let's dance

# Let's dance

# Let's dance

# For fear your grace should fall

# Should fall

# Let's dance

# For fear tonight is all

# Let's sway

# And then I can look

# I can look into your eyes

# Let's sway

# Underneath the moonlight

# I'm talkin' about the moonlight

- # Let's...

- # Dance
