OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*I'm feeling so fine and you're looking so good
I'd like to get together, oh Lord I wish we could

Allemande that corner, come back you dosado
Men star left one time and go
Turn partner by the right hand around
Find the corner girl, allemande left and promenade
**But there's someone at home, who's depending on me
And she would never know, if I set my passions free


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*You say a precious moment is all that it would be
That I'd forget about you, and you'd forget me

...
**Oh I love what you're saying, it's tempting me so
And though I love to hear it, there's no way I'll let go


*I'm feeling so fine and you're looking so good
I'd like to get together, oh Lord I wish we could

...
**I could tell her a lie and I know that I'd get by
But I don't think love ought to be that way

But I don't think love ought to be that way
