I Know You've Had a Long Day But

Sam Gutierrez

we’ve been here before. The same culdesac

where your grandparents lived. We

held hands at their funeral and sang

Tiny Dancer. It was their song.

Now it’s ours. Whisper into

my ear that you’ll

hold me closer.

Dance on the

Pavement

count

the

head-

lights

on the

highway.

I’ll be your

Tiny Dancer and

We’ll live here at your

grandparent’s home until

the lights go out and the music

stops playing and the cars stop passing.
