Dancing with the devil
Toni Cole 1976 (Missouri)
As I danced with the Devil he looked me in the eyes I could see his pain and despair with tears in his eyes he told me he didn't like who he has become. As he wiped the tears from his eyes he asked me if I could teach him how to love again? So I asked him how do you feel at this moment?
He replied I feel like time has stopped the world is standing still nothing but you & I exist. I said to him that my dear is love
As I danced with the devil he held me tight and asked me to never let him go as he embraced me I whispered in his ears we are from two different worlds this love you feel for me can never be
He took my face in his hands and said to me as the tears started to swell up in his eyes again I don't want to let go. Then he asked if we could dance a little longer
So I danced with the devil tonight.
