All You Get From A Love Song
Carpenters 1976
  (Fine Tune 192)   ReneĆ© Ruud
 
two columns

OPENER    Mainstream

Sides face, grand square
Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere
Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze

Allemande left and weave
As seagulls fly I knew that I was losin'
Love was washed away with the driftin' tide


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (Sides) promenade it's halfway around
Pass the ocean, extend
Girls trade, recycle around you go
Square thru three, three hands around, all the way
U-turn back
Swing and promenade
Love was washed away
With the driftin' tide


MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Mainstream

Sides face, grand square
It's a dirty old shame
When all you get from love is a love song.
That's got you layin' up nights just waitin'
For the music to start

Allemande left and weave
**Such a dirty old shame when you got to
Take the blame for a love song
Because the best love songs are written
With a broken heart


(** Optional sax instrumental break)
