Lady, won't you take a chance?
For, in the air, there breathes romance;
the band is playing softly,
inviting us to dance.
Don't be coy, for can't you see,
the night is young and so are we.
Let us take the floor and turn
to Love's sweet melody.
And as we turn and spin and slide
to the music's swing, we'll glide
across the burnished ballroom floor
and feel our hearts collide.
The waltz is calling us to dance,
the stately rhythm of romance
is waiting for us both--
Lady, take this chance.

This made me smile. Though I didn't enjoy the rhyme scheme... I ADORED the message. It's so sweet. I think that there is nothing more romantic than a man asking a woman to dance.
