Peggy Sue, oh Peggy Sue
It happened by chance that lies upon the cosmic trail of life.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think a sleepy little town in deep Georgia would have so much life.
I thought of the coming night as I traveled to the hometown of my wife.
An old friend she was to in the soft hush of a quiet little town to meet.
Boring, oh boring, I thought this chitter chatter of old friends to be.
Yet to my surprise, Peggy Sue resurrected a forgotten part of me.
Not only was she easy on the eyes, but she could dance like a queen with the angels on high.
Thought it has been years since I danced with such joy, her energy and love for life raised my hope and gave unto me insight to which I still rejoice.
Therefore Peggy Sue…this ode of admiration is penned just for you.
Thus know that single night you and you alone took me on a magical flight.
You with your gentle smile and touch showed me the grace of a Southern Bell so much.
So thank you Peggy Sue, and be sure to thank Floyd for me too.
May grace and peace light your way,
And perhaps Jan and I will see you both another day…

My dance partner just retired but she's still dancing professionally and hopes to get on America's Got Talent. Oh how I miss dancing… Especially with her.
