CHORUS:
TENNIS HELPS MY BODY TENNIS HELPS MY SOUL
WHEN I GO OUT PLAYING TENNIS I GO HOME MUCH MORE WHOLE
—
I love that I found tennis, there’s always something new
I just found out last year I’m supposed to have court shoes.
Whether I am outside or whether I’m in the dome
Or if I am at Riverside or in my summer home.
CHORUS
The volley, serve, the alley shot, I’ve never had an ace
But if I learn one more thing, I’d like to learn to place.
It’s teaching me to focus, how to watch the ball
Always moving forward, I never want to fall
CHORUS
I love the connection I have with those I play
Whether I’m in the zone or having a bad day.
Meeting new people; now my hubby’s learned to play
We can have fun together in a new and different way.
CHORUS
Accepting our limits; no easy part of the game
Always wanting better; nothing remains the same.
I’m glad I’ve had this moment; thanks to you I say
The organizers for the fun, the friendship and the play.
