Cliff Brodeur

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

Four ladies promenade once around you go
Come on back, swing with your girl
Join hands circle left, movin' round the ring
Left allemande, weave the ring
I thought I was swingin' the world by the tail
Swing that girl and promenade
I thought I had met pretty girls in my time
That was before I met you

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads square thru 4 hands you go
Dosado the corner girl, swing thru, spin the top
Boys move up and do the right & left thru
Touch 1/4 now, girls run to the right
Swing the corner girl and promenade
I thought I'd been loved and I thought I'd been kissed
That was before I met you

Before I Met You

Lyrics ID: 497

I thought I had seen pretty girls in my time
But that was before I met you
I never saw one that I wanted for mine
But that was before I met you
I thought I was swinging the world by the tail
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you

I thought I'd stay single always be free
But that was before I met you
I said that no sweet thang could ever hold me
But that was before I met you

I thought I was swinging the world by the tail
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you

That was before I met you
