OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
I've spent my life looking for you
Finding my way wasn't easy to do
I know there was you all the while
And it's been worth (every mile)
, Allemande left and weave the ring
So lay down beside me, love me and hide me
Kiss all the hurtin'
, swing, promenade
Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat
And don't ever wander away


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade go halfway
Sides (heads) do the right & left thru
Heads (sides) square thru 4 hands 'round
All the way, eight chain 4
So lay down beside me, Love me and hide me
Touch 1/4, scoot back
Swing, promenade
Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat
And don't ever wander away


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Mornings and evenings all were the same
And there was no music 'till I heard your name
But I knew when I saw you smile
Now I can rest (for awhile)
, Allemande left and weave the ring
So lay down beside me, Love me and hide me
Kiss all the hurtin'
, swing, promenade
Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat
And don't ever wander away


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

4 boys promenade inside the ring
Get back home swing, swing with your girl
Join hands, circle left awhile
Allemande left and weave the ring
So lay down beside me, Love me and hide me
Kiss all the hurtin' of this world away
, swing, promenade
Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat
And don't ever wander away

And don't ever wander away
