    For Sharon

    A Song Lyric
    by Sheila King
    G
    1. Sharon, I’ve been thinking of you;

    Wondering what happened to you

    Wondering if you still know
    D
    How to dance in the dark
    C D
    People talk (but they don’t know).
    C D
    It was so many years ago
    C D G
    You used to listen to the radio and dance in the dark

    2. You were tall and not too pretty.
    People said it was a pity
    That a girl like you
    just wasn’t going anywhere.
    Me? I liked your poetry
    and the way you treated me
    And you’re the one who showed me
    how to dance in the dark.

    Chorus:
    C D
    Maybe it’s because I’m older
    E
    I see the world through different eyes.
    C D
    You’d say I’ve gotten colder,
    E
    Still it took me by surprise -
    D
    Look what it did to you...

    3. Don’t know where to send a letter,
    but I hope you’re feelin’ better
    Hope you’re getting all the
    necessary therapy
    I don’t know why I’m not beside you,
    As many times as I’ve been lied to
    I guess it helped remembering
    How to dance in the dark...

    Repeat Chorus:

    This poem has a great meaning of affection from one person to another, and it is one I enjoyed reading.

    You have to hear this one sung...

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
