In My Mind

Poetry In Motion

I always listen to Light & Easy FM and today, on my way to UIA for my PhD class, I heard an oldie called "Poetry In Motion" by Johnny Tillotson. Well my memory wonders to my high school days in 1980's where I used to call a schoolmate of mine (same batch but different class) "Poetry In Motion" due to her style of walking - Simply Graceful. Here is the lyrics to the song (#2 in Top 40 in 1960):

When I see my baby
What do I see ?
Poetry

Poetry in motion...

Poetry in motion
Walkin' by my side
Her lovely locomotion
Keeps my eyes open wide

Poetry in motion
See her gentle sway
A wave out on the ocean
Could never move that way
I love every movement
There's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange

Poetry in motion
Dancing close to me
A flower of devotion
A-swaying gracefully

Oh A-whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
A-whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
A-whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa

Poetry in motion
See her gentle sway
A wave out on the ocean
Could never move that way
I love every movement
There's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange

Poetry in motion
All that I adore
No number-nine love potion
Could make me love her more

Oh A-whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
A-whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
FADE A-whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa Whoa
