They stood in front of us,
hand n’ hand,
as though nothing had happened...
and I began to wonder if the whole thing was my imagination.
Then Squale spun in a circle and walked with exaggerated hip movements, stopping before my feet, looking right in my eyes with a delightful charm and started signing:
Love me tender,
Love me sweet,
Never let me go.
At this Teddy spun in a graceful circle and sang:
You have made my life complete,
And I love you so.
Both of them swayed their arms and spoke as much with their hands and with their mouths and sang in unison:
Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin I love you,
And I always will.
As they danced together ~ somehow we heard the music playing like a record.
Now Teddy started:
Love me tender,
Love me long,
Take me to your heart.
Squale spun in the same graceful manner ~ filled with delight
For it's there that I belong,
And we’ll never part.
Again they danced and sang:
Love me tender,
Love me dear,
Tell me you are mine.
Ill be yours through all the years,
Till the end of time.
