Allemande left, go allemande thar
Go forward two the men back in, a right hand star
Shoot that star a full turn, the men star right halfway
Left allemande your corner, weave the ring I say
Now I can feel it, slippin' away
* Swing your lady, and promenade
It'll be gone, in a few more days
If we don't stop this love of ours from slippin' away

Sides face grand square
Roses are red, violets are blue
Sugar is sweet some of the time
This puzzle's missin', a piece or two
Allemande left your corner, and weave on down the line
Now I can feel it, slippin' away
Slowly, slowly, slippin away
It'll be gone, in a few more days
If we don't stop this love of ours from slippin' away
