OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
* I met a girl out in the hills who gave my lonely heart a thrill
Her beauty seemed just like a breath of spring
And when I looked into her eyes I thought of blue mid-summer skies
And when I held her hand in mine (I heard the bluebirds sing), Circle Left
They sang of loving (loving every hour)
That I'm married (married to my flower)
Left allemande, you awing and promenade
And though we're older (older love is sweeter)
We grow fonder (fonder of each other)
We'll be sweethearts (sweethearts close together)
Until the end of time
ALTERNATE LYRICS
* I courted her for months on end until she promised we would be wed
We planned on being married in the spring
All through the long cold winter months it seemed that spring would never come
And every gloomy winter's day (I heard the bluebirds sing)
* And when at last spring touched the earth, we were married in the village church
Our wedding seemed just like a dream come true
So many years have come and gone our love is still as true and strong
As when I found her long ago and still the bluebirds sing
FIGURE
The head two couples promenade, go halfway 'round that ring I say
Come down the middle, square thru count me four
Go all the way around and then you dosado one time my friend
Now swing thru go two by two and boys run to the right
Then you ferris wheel, now you pass thru
Swing your corner, and promenade back home
And though we're older, we grow fonder
We'll be sweethearts, until the end of time
