Seventh Samba
Our eyes met across a room
At a party in late June
Where the elegant and chic
embraced the clique
To be together was unwise
to risk the eyes of those who recognise
Living in another place
Moving at a different pace
Remembering the vision and how I see you
Remembering the times we shared
Even though you never dared
to dance the Seventh Samba with me
You were in the public eye
and the camera never lies
Our liaison hit the fan,
you seemed to crumble
So I agreed against my will
to deny and disappear
In a different time you'd love me still
When the flowers came today
and I found your note to say
that you love me and need me in your life
These circumstances made
you decide to tilt the shade
and dance the Seventh Samba with me

Our eyes met across a room
We made eye contact from different parts of the room
At a party in late June
The specific time and place where we met
Where the elegant and chic
The type of people who were present at the party
embraced the clique
The people at the party were friendly and welcoming
To be together was unwise
It was not a good idea for us to be in a relationship
Hand in hand we wouldn't dare
We were too scared to show affection in public
to risk the eyes of those who recognise
We were worried about being seen by people we know
Living in another place
We are currently not living in the same location
Moving at a different pace
Our lives are moving at different speeds
Remembering the vision and how I see you
I still have a clear memory of how you looked
Remembering the times we shared
I still remember the experiences we had together
Even though you never dared
You were too afraid to do something
to dance the Seventh Samba with me
You didn't want to dance with me
You were in the public eye
You were a celebrity at the time
and the camera never lies
There was media coverage of our relationship
Our liaison hit the fan,
Our relationship became a public scandal
you seemed to crumble
You were unable to handle the pressure of being in the spotlight
So I agreed against my will
I was forced to do something that I didn't want to do
to deny and disappear
I had to pretend that our relationship never happened and disappear from public view
In a different time you'd love me still
In another circumstance, you would still have feelings for me
When the flowers came today
I received flowers today
and I found your note to say
There was a note included with the flowers
that you love me and need me in your life
You expressed your love and desire to have me back in your life
These circumstances made
The situation we were in influenced your decision
you decide to tilt the shade
You decided to change your mind and take a risk
and dance the Seventh Samba with me
You finally agreed to dance with me
