Speaking of Dancing...

This was originally posted on our Marriage blog, which is now hibernating. I love it, so I am reposting it here. Have a great weekend. xo

This has poem has been one of my/our favorites for a long time. The funny thing is I never realized it is actually a song. And sort of a goofy/ weird song at that! Well, Leonard Cohen is...shall we say, "odd"? Anyhoo-- by the magic of the internet, I got to hear the song and watch the video this week! Do yourself a favor and DO NOT. Seriously, it removes all would-be romance from this well-written "poem".

Well, after much ado...here is the text of Dance Me To the End Of Love...along with some of the pictures I think it should conjure in your mind...not the weird ones on the internet! lol

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin 

Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in 
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove 
Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love

Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone 
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon 
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of 
Dance me to the end of love 
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on 
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long 
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above 
Dance me to the end of love 
Dance me to the end of loveDance me to the children who are asking to be born 
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn 
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn 
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin 
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in 
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove 

Dance me to the end of love 
Dance me to the end of love 
Dance me to the end of love

This weekend, find some time to dance with your spouse and feel the love!
