“He Was Tall”

He was tall, very tall
And his eyes were clear and blue
He was slim, very slim
In his coat of snowy hue

When he walked across the ballroom floor
He was like a thing divine
And all the ladies turned their heads
And naturally I turned mine

The chandeliers were shooting stars
The drums and horns and soft guitars
Were sounding more like nightingales
The window curtains blew like sails

And I was floating just above the floor
Feeling slightly taller than before

He was tall, very tall
And his eyes were clear and blue
