An old song. Maybe the first song.

Ballerina

 

I met a ballerina
She danced on a spindle
A key on the side made the music play

As she was dancing
My foot was tapping
To the beat of the song she would play that day
(And I would sing)

Dance balerina
Dance ballerina
Dance for me

Then the ballerina
Touched my leg (she touched my lip)
I put my hands on her hip to keep from trembling

Motionless in the room
Her face lit by the moon
Oh, I could stay there forever and ever
(Singing)

Dance balerina
Dance ballerina
Dance for me

Dance balerina
Dance ballerina
Dance for me

It's been such a long time
Since I've heard a song
That would make me want to sing
I look in your eyes
How they shine with the light
They make me lose sense of time

Now the ballerina
Is there on my shelf
I'm here by myself, I'm thinking

Was she real (I don't know)
It was a dream I am told
But at night you can hear me because I'm singing

Dance balerina
Dance ballerina
Dance for me

Dance balerina
Dance ballerina
Dance for me

Dance...
Dance...
