The Value of a Second
In a sunset shade
A red-black room
Together we wait
In the quiet gloom
A shuffled shoe
A quiet inhale
I look at you
Our focus pale
A gleam in the eye
Of excited delight
And yet closer by
An expression with fright
A relaxed smile
A last-second hug
We've waited a while
The music! Hearts tug
A slight swelling chorus
My head starts to spin
The whole night before us
I'm starting to grin
The silence is full
And yet complete
My heart seems to pull
Itself back on its feet
Nervous, you bet
And yet unafraid
Friends have been met
The stage has been laid
I'm standing in quiet
In soft reddish light
I can nearly spy it
The waiting spotlight
The music is slowing
The door opens wide
Excitement is growing
We all step inside
Standing in twilight
I feel my ears ring
This is the first night
When we all sing
"Anne of Green Gables
In our hearts"
You'll remain, like Grebel,
never to part
