Lyrics

As the music plays
In a moonlit house
I see her dancing
Twirling around
In a faded gown
As the light surrounds her

Ballet Dancer, don’t fade away
Stay in motion, let the music play
You’re my everything, my melody
You’re the song that still carries me

She moves like a whisper
Every breath she takes
Carries me to love her
I hear her song
In the quiet dawn
As I reach out to listen

Ballet Dancer, don’t fade away
Spin around for your destiny
Let your beauty shine through
Happiness for me and you

And may the curtain never fall
Live on forever in these halls
As I continue to hear your song
It’s all around me

She reaches out to take my hand
And I remember how our song began
Her touch surrounds my soul
And guides where my heart will go

Ballet Dancer, forever free
In the music that lives in me
Endless grace ’til the end of time
I am yours and you are mine
