here is part of it ?

After the dance
In harmony and measure
After the dance
An anthem to their joy
A cheerful refrain
A melody and treasure
And memories of pleasure ever
After the dance


hmmmmmmm

After the Dance                
melody John Taylor, lyrics Jed Marum © 2006

I still see them ever
When the dance is over
When the dancer's gone
Will their song ring on forever?
I still see their faces
Hear lingering traces
A song the empty room graces
After the dance

CHO:After the dance
In harmony and measure
After the dance
An anthem to their joy
A cheerful refrain
A melody and treasure
And memories of pleasure ever
After the dance

They share hearth and heather
They join the dance together
They shed their tears and joy
Then they're gone again forever
Heartache and laughter
Compose verse and chapter
A tale recounted ever after
After the dance - CHO

Our friends and relations
Our own aspirations
Will mingle at the dance
In succeeding generations
Many the members
The dear the heart remembers
And warm the dying fire's embers
After the dance - CHO
