Although there was some issues with my husband about my dancing, mostly he has come to realize how much this art form means to me and even his mother now accepts it about me. Any others out there in my situation? Sipping Galiano to the Hollywood Gold I've donned by best chiffon this night to match the star I hold. Endless beads are dripping from the stage lights to the floor Makeup streaking down my face as the music starts to soar I see a captive audience blinded to the core Clearly they have had enough yet still they yell for more I've written many images on that stage so full of song Expended many energies on nights sometimes too long But I've lived one of the wonders a girl dreams about And sipped a taste of Hollywood the Gold can't shine without.
