Carnival

A gentle touch as she brushes by,
just the lightest of touches as she holds me,
her love is clear to see,
on this summer's day,
the crowd sway and swing,
to the Samba beat,
let the carnival begin,
you're near me,
but you're so far away,
I dance to the Calypso beat,
you dance to a different beat,
let's dance to the same beat,
you're next to me,
not so far away,
let the street party begin,
summer celebrations until the midnight hour,
dance with me,
let the carnival begin.
