A Little Song I'm Working On

I've been taking some songwriting classes. I love this little song I wrote taking Abbie Gardner's songwriting workshop on Zoom.  Thought I'd share it here. I was imagining myself as a little old lady, sitting at an outdoor reception for my granddaughter's wedding.

Dance Little Darlin' Let's Dance.

Chords and Lyrics:

A                           e                 a
She leans on the edge of her seat
                          E
Shoe tips tap  where grass and floor meet
A                    e               a
Evening sun traces her breast
               d                                     E              a
casts dappled shapes through the  trim of her dress   

A                             e                       a
Corners starched, face  creased in pride 2...3
                              e
The newlyweds dance,  brushing her side--
         a
It's yesterday, just like they say
    e                                                A
Lovers first dance on her wedding day.
A          d           e                       a
Come on little darling let's dance
 a          d             e                a a e       E.....
Come on little darling let's dance
                  D                E                        a          d
From your very first breath til your last romance 
d                         e                  a]

Come on little darling lets dance
d                       A                     e
Toe -heel she peels off  her  shoes
d                         a                   d                E
Pink dappled grass, her sunlight, her muse
       A
Its healing  breeze stroking her  brow 
                D                   E                      A
As her daughter , the mother, spins past her now

Bridge a    dd e a

d                      a                     e
Whispering warm  in her ear 
d                       a                    e        
“Recall my ribbons  through her  cradle, Dear?
       A                     d                  a                  
Its  glow growing long on  her face 
d                     e                                a
you on your pillow, we watch  her awake.

chorus

a
Look, they are  cutting the cake
                                         e
Crisp silhouette, what a couple they make

Pink light vignetted by leaves
       e                                          a
A backdrop of stars created by trees

d                         d                  a
Her head nods, nestling her face  
d                                  a                               e                     
Warmth cross'd her back, his familiar embrace 
a                 e                     a
His touch, his wedding band 
         e                                                    a
Her long ago groom offers his velvet hand
