two columns

OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
*Back in my younger days I used to go all night
Now I just stay at home and every thing is all right

Circle left
**Back when I first met you
Allemande left and promenade
But that was so long ago, back in my younger days

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*I would do anything, just a stumbling fool
It's a wonder I'm standing here, I've broken so many rules


**Now I dance with you every night

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads square thru four, dosado
Swing thru, go spin the top
Right & left thru, square thru three
Swing your corner, promenade
But that was so long ago, back in my younger days

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 2

Four ladies chain across that ring,
You rollaway and circle left
Four ladies rollaway
Do an allemande left and weave the ring
Talk about a dream come true
Swing your girl and promenade
But that was so long ago, back in my younger days

TAG

But that was so long ago, back in my younger days

Original sequence had a "Swing Thru 3 Hands" followed by "Fan The Top". I changed it to "Swing Thru" followed by "Spin The Top".
