Could I Have This Dance (RIV 720) Elmer Sheffield, Jr.

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

4 ladies chain 3/4 round the ring now
Roll away and then circle left
*I'll always remember the song they were playing
Left allemande and weave the ring
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life
Swing with your own and promenade her all right
When we're together, it feels so right
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life

FIGURE

Heads promenade and go halfway around now
Down the middle and do the right & left thru
Square thru and get me 4 and go walking round the floor now
Touch 1/4, scoot back and go, boys run
Square thru go 3, then the corner lady swing
Swing with that girl and promenade around the ring
When we're together, it feels so right
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*We swayed to the music and held to each other

As we moved together and held to each other
