two columns

OPENER    Basic

Walk around corner lady, see saw your own
Join hands, circle go walkin' round you roam
Men star by the right, left allemande
Weave around and sing
I've got heartaches by the numbers, troubles by the score
Swing your doll round and promenade once more
I've got heartaches by the numbers and love that I can't win
But the day I stop counting is the day the world will end


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade halfway
Sides right & left thru, turn your girl
Square thru 4 hands around you go
Spin chain thru, take your time
Girls circulate one time and turn thru
Left allemande, promenade
I've got heartaches by the numbers and love that I can't win
But the day I stop counting is the day the world will end


FIGURE (ALTERNATE)    Mainstream, corner progression

Sides (heads) square thru 4 hands
Make a right hand star with the outside two
Sides star by the left, one time will do
Back to same two, right & left thru
Rollaway, touch 1/4, boys fold
Girls turn thru, all star thru
Promenade and sing
I've got heartaches by the numbers and love that I can't win
But the day I stop counting is the day the world will end


MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Heartaches by the number, troubles by the score
Every day you love me less, each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number, a love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting
That's the day my world will end
