"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
