ONE LOOK One look The whole room fell out of view The record kept turning around But all I could hear was you One look You smiled—I forgot how to dance I stepped on your shoe in the turn You stayed, so I still had a chance And then the years came faster than we planned them With rent to pay and children down the hall We learned that love means more than how it started The truest kind of love outlives the fall One look Was only the first thing love knew The rest was a lifetime of days Still turning to look back at you And when the quiet years have gathered ’round us And time draws smaller circles through the room I’ll play the worn-out record that first found us And take that same first clumsy step with you One look And still, when the last record spins I’ll reach for the hand I first held And ask you to start it again
