The story starts, it was a late (1)________________ night
She had a (2)____________ in her hair, he had his uniform on tight
He patrolled his watch, (3)________ nothing else was wrong
She danced by him with her face as pale as dawn

He looked into her eyes and saw nothing there
He said, "excuse me seƱorita, but I don't believe we've had the pleasure"
She said "of course you know me, I'm (4)________ every year,
but don't you get to (5)__________ when I'm dancing my dear"

He thought, "how can I not fall in love with that,
a pretty little women with an (6)________________ to match"

Her untimely death meant that they were now (20)________ alone
Never to dance (21)________________ again or see how old that they had grown
