OPENER - CLOSER    Mainstream

Circle left
Her smile wakes me up every morning
And gives me strength to make it through the day
Left allemande you know, come on back you dosado
The boys star left around today
Turn thru and you left allemande now
Come on back and promenade away
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

FIGURE    Plus, corner progression

Heads promenade half around the outside
Lead right and do a dosado
Slide thru and then single circle to a wave
Boy run to the right, wheel & deal
Slide thru, pass thru and swing now
Swing that corner girl and promenade
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

MIDDLE BREAK    Mainstream

Sides face, grand square
(32 beats of music only)
Allemande left and weave
Love has never known a truer meaning
Swing and promenade go round you sail
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

TAG

No tag

There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbour
Tomorrow for old England she sails
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell
For you are beautiful
And I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

For you are beautiful
And I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

I heard there's a wicked war a blazing
And the taste of war I know so very well
Even now I see the foreign flag a raising
Their guns on fire as we sail into hell
I have no fear of death; it brings no sorrow
But how bitter will be this last farewell
For you are beautiful
And I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

For you are beautiful
And I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

Though death and darkness gather all about me
And my ship be torn apart upon the seas
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
In the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
And should I return safe home again to England
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dell
For you are beautiful
And I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

For you are beautiful
And I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
