Masquerade

Masquerade

A Poem by Bo Lanier

Well and as the music plays and everybody

Dances to Mozart inside I stand out here

On the terrace all alone outside

All alone except for the owls, the moon and the stars

I might feel left out and down on myself

Wishing I was someone in there, someone other than

Myself but the night is young so who's to say

I just might not be going home all alone

Maybe I'll meet the one, the one I've waited and

Dreamed of for so, so long, who knows but I guess

I won't meet anyone if I don't make my presence known

'Cuz the night is still young and I wanna have

Some fun, after all it is a MASQUERADE BALL

And I should be having the time of my life, tonight...

Tonight I could dance with anyone and

Remain a stranger, a complete stranger if I really

Want to, but then again, tonight I could be in the arms

Of the one, the one who can see pass the mask

And into the eyes that can't disguise the soul

After all the eyes are the windows to the soul

And if destiny rules all my dreams

Will come true, you will know me and I will

Know you, tonight if destiny rules, if destiny

Rules, even for a little while here tonight

At this MASQUERADE, MASQUERADE BALL

There is a certain something magical

Happening here I haven't felt since 89, as you take

My hand my heart says this might be the one,

The one who will be holding your hand now

And for a lifetime, but I wouldn't had known it

If I hadn't of swallowed my pride and

Danced one dance tonight here at this fairy

Tale, enchanted fairy MASQUERADE BALL!
