Written, tuned, composed and sung by the legendary Canadian
poet/novelist/musician/ composer/singer Leonard Cohen who passed away
on November 7, 2016. I strongly feel that the Nobel Committee fumbled (again)
picking Bob Dylan instead of Cohen for that year’s Nobel Prize for Literature!
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
And dance me to the end of love
Yeah dance me to the end of love
Let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
And dance me to the end of love
Yeah dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
And dance me to the end of love
Yeah dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
And dance me to the end of love
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Yeah dance me to the end of love
Oh dance me to the end of love…
Movie version of the song... from SCENT OF A WOMAN; featuring Al Pacino in his Oscar winning role...
