The day I went to visit her   Soon after she turned ninety-four   The coffee and the Entenmann's   We talked as if we were old friends      She filled me in on gossip   All the seniors in the complex   We talked about the days gone by   And then she told me with a sigh,      It's been twenty-seven years   He's passed away   It still feels like yesterday      The conversation turned to love   As any long talk always does   She asked about my situation   Was there someone I was dating      I told her of a pretty girl   Who's teaching me to dance   She told me how she love to dance   But only with one man then she said,      When they play that music   I turn the other way   Since my dancing partner's away      Driving home so late that night   My mind still recollecting   All the many things we talked about   Like living with and then without      I wondered to myself if I would   Ever love someone that way   And in the echoes of that night   I still can see her as she's saying,      When they play that music   I turn the other way   Since my dancing partner's away
