Oh dear Alice,
I see you dancing there,
A twirl of skit,
A flash of hair.

I can’t believe my luck;
That you are here with me
Must be an act of fate,
Now what is this I see?

A timid grin lights your features,
Oh won’t you please smile?
No my cricket? Quite alright,
I can wait here for a while.

Other men may try to dance
With you my doll, my dear
I’m sure the feel my wrathful glare
And they retreat in fear

Oh there it is
The treasure I’ve been waiting for
The beautiful smile in fullest bloom
As you dance upon the floor

I’ve waited for a while
But now I cannot stand
To watch and gaze and not react
So won’t you take my hand?

Into my arms you fold
Your fingers clasped in mine
That delicate blush across your face,
Oh lord, is this a sign?

Our feet, they move in equal time
One two, three four, one two
Oh dear, my heart is pounding
What am I to do?

I wish this night could last forever,
Or at least this song, this dance.
I know my wish will not come true
So now I’ll take my chance.


Your lips, pink as a rose,
Are soft, supple, and sweet.
I’ve captured your smile and made it mine,
Oh what a delightful treat.

Oh dear Alice
On the floor we have frozen
The kiss to end the world
Is now the dance that we have chosen.

Oh dear Alice
This kiss, this dance, this song
Still I pray and still I wish
That’s you’ll be mine forever long.

“Dear Reginald,” you say,
Your eyes sparkling in the night,
“I’ve waited for this moment so,
And oh it feels so right.”

Oh dear Alice
I’ve longed to hear this spoken
I kiss you once again
And hand you a rose, a token.

This rose was plucked
Without your knowledge.
Pink and beautiful and blooming,
Such lovely added foliage.

Oh dear Alice
In words I can’t express
Just how much you mean to me
Without meaning to depress.

Oh dear Alice,
On this day you are mine, if only for a while
This Hatter is now so thrilled
And filled with an endless smile.
