dance with me

 

When the marimba rythmn start to play,
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sound of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sound of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

When the marimba rythmn starts to play,
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with me
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

When the marimba starts to play
Hold me close, make me sway
Like an ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close weary more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with me
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Sway

Zen Sarcasm

     Zen Sarcasm

   1,  Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone.

   2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire.

   3.   It’s always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.           

                               
    4.  Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted. 

    5.  Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.

    6.  Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

    7.  If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

    8.  Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. 

     9.  If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is probably not for you.
                                        
    10.  Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

     11.  If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably a wise investment.

     12.  If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

    13.  Some days you're the bug; some days you're the windshield.

    14.  Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

    15.  The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

     16.  A closed mouth gathers no foot.

     17,  Duct tape is like 'The Force.' It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

     18,  There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.

     19,   Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

     20,  Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
