Only Here For A Little While (C 819) Scott Smith

OPENER

Circle
Today I stood, singing songs, saying amen
Saying goodbye to an old friend who's too young
Left allemande the corner, run back a dosado now
Left allemande gonna weave the ring
You gotta hold what needs holding, mend what needs mending
Swing that girl and promenade in style
Say what needs saying, pray what needs praying
Cause we're only here for a little while

FIGURE

Heads promenade halfway,
down the middle and pass the ocean, extend
The ladies trade, swing thru, boys run around this girl
Tag the line, cloverleaf
Girls both hands single circle halfway, rear back, pass thru
Swing the corner boy and promenade
Say what needs saying, pray what needs praying
Cause we're only here for a little while

MIDDLE BREAK

4 ladies chain well you turn that lady go round I say
Roll that lady with a half sashay and circle to the left
Well 4 little ladies gonna rollaway and circle
Left allemande and weave
You gotta hold what needs holding, mend what needs mending
Walk what needs walking, though it means an extra mile
Say what needs saying, pray what needs praying
Cause we're only here for a little while

CLOSER

4 men promenade, go once around the ring I say
Run back home and swing your lady round and round for me
Join hands make that ring, circle to the left I sing
Allemande left and weave the ring
You gotta hold what needs holding, mend what needs mending
Walk what needs walking, though it means an extra mile
Say what needs saying, pray what needs praying
Cause we're only here for a little while
