A/N: Here the word "cadence" is pronounced in French manner. Yes, I know it's not like that in English, but I just can't make myself submit to this rule. =) Forgive me for any inconvenience.

Taking part in Banana Babe's contest. Based on the song "Danser Encore" by Calogero. I strongly advise you to listen to it for it's wonderful.


Dance A Little More

The guests are fleeing

The host is already gone

It is fine for the time being

I can still hold on.

Music is still playing

As gentle as before

No more couples swaying

But I want to dance a little more.

The last glass of wine

The last drop of hope

Not sure I am fine

But I will cope.

Today is worth crying

Tomorrow I ignore

Death, I send it flying

Let me dance a little more.

The lights are slowly going out

The party is ending soon

It has been magical, no doubt,

The guests, the wine, the tune.

Slowing down is the cadence

The wind is calling through the door

Oh, how I wish I could -just once-

Dance a little more.
