THE CONTEMPT OF ME
TO DARE TO WANT TO LOVE AGAIN
YET SHE WAKES IT IN ME, IS IT A SIN?
TO FEEL ONCE AGAIN MY TREMBLING YOUTHFUL KNEES
AS MEMORY'S WIND SWEEPS ME BACK
GONE WILD ON LOVE IN THIS DELIGHTFUL BREEZE,
AND SWEATY PALMS ONCE MORE I DECLARE
I DARE TO TRY TO DANCE AGAIN
ONE,...TWO STEPS FROM MY WHEEL CHAIR....
FOR A MOMENT THERE I WAS FOREVER YOUNG
AS HER BEAUTY SANG MY SOUL NEVER SUNG
OH! FOR THE CONTEMPT OF ME!
