The lonely cello in the corner of the room
Plucking notes into the air for the magnificent ball
But only as an afterthought
The music can only carry in the background
Without a voice to ring
It's just another sound amongst the scene
When their music is not fully 'alive'
How did the others survive?
They have books to give them the lyrics
They have dance to give them the Rhythm
They have emotion to give them the capacity
Looks like all they're missing is the voice
Weaving your way through a poem
You were supposed to be reciting
The little nuances in your voice
Caught on, igniting
The words themselves a fierce passion
Guiding your soul out to take part
Even trickling out, they can still hear as you sing
The melody so quiet, soon it's captivating
A hush stills everything
The silence magnifying your voice
Lost in the world behind closed eyelids
You remain unaware
Forgetting your surroundings
You leave the crowd entranced
And imagine their shock still yet
When you begin to dance
Your movements intertwining
With the voice to be a gliding
A lad stepped up to join your dancing
Known for his two left feet
Then soon he was a prancing
Joining in your flow
His entire face filled with happiness aglow
Your figures moved as if finally uniting
They all still wonder if his joy was contagious
Because then your voice suddenly grew
As if it was soaring around the room
Echoing from deep within you
When you hit the peak of your crescendo
It was then a sweet voice harmonized the tune
Opening up your eyes, voice slowly faltering
He took you gently in his arms
When your knees started weakening
A quick glance around showed streaming
A whole room of people with tears
The song changes, beat altering
All the poor widows rush to take up vocals
The most cumbersome of men
Joining the lonely cello
All the gentlemen took within their hands
Each a maiden of no marital plan
Urging the couples' feet to once more continue again
After many a song passed, he gathered his courage to ask
Please, if you would, grace me with a small smile
After all, you have been dancing with the prince, for quite awhile
Embarrassed, she shyly smiled under the friendly gaze
Breath catching, the blushing lad declared
I believe you have just secured yourself a groom
Their happily ever after began at the sound of wedding bells
