Jeff, I've posted to you privately but for the Mudcatters who may not have seen the song that you wrote for Bonnie, I will post it here again - I still remember hearing you sing it, and it says so much about the kind of relationship you have had - and that will never ever go away.

[This is Jeff's first song, written for Bonnie on Valentine's Day]

WOULD YOU LIKE TO DANCE?

CHORUS

Would you like to dance, make some sweet romance
Would you take a chance with me?
We'll spin around the floor once or twice or more.
I love you can't you see?
Dance with me.

When I first met you many years ago,
who could tell what would transpire?
Neither you nor I knew as time went by
you would set my heart on fire?

CHORUS

We went our separate ways, while the music played
Some sad and happy tunes.
Before the dance was through I came back to you
And we kissed beneath the moon.

CHORUS

Now if you'll just step into my arms
We'll waltz all around this hall.
Then no matter what the future brings
I'll be there each time you call.

CHORUS
