In the Elegance of You
by Michael Doyle

Whether dressed in red or blue
The lady I wish to dance with is you
Not just for today or a few more tomorrows
But in always in all days in joy and in sorrow

Holding you close to my heart is your best place
My cheek to yours, gently brushing your face
And still all the more closer until I know and feel
Our hearts beat fast as if bound together in steel

From the first song until evening's final end
You are my woman, my love, and my best friend
I whisper this gently, softly into your waiting ear
That I will always hold you close, you need never fear

Someone once said something about three times a lady
And I guess that about covers it all, except for maybe
That you are my greatest confidant with words we share
Wrapped up in rainbows, waterfalls and thoughts of care

When I am away taking care of things that I must do
Please know that you are in my heart as I think of you
Waiting until that moment that I can hold you once again
For you are my woman, my love and always my best friend
