This song is a tribute to the many dancers in my life, past and present.

Ballerina

Gracefully the dance begins Ballerina turns and spins Pirouetting 'cross the stage she glides She seems lost in fantasy In a private reverie Feeling every movement from inside

Ballerina dances on her toes In each plié and tour jeté it shows There's no place else she'd rather be Ballerina dance for me

Underneath fluorescent lights In a leotard and tights Partnered with the mirror on the wall In an empty studio Even though it's not a show She still has the power to enthrall

Ballerina dances on her toes In each plié and tour jeté it shows There's no place else she'd rather be Ballerina dance for me

It's her escape It's her release It's her freedom It's her peace

Ballerina dances on her toes In each plié and tour jeté it shows There's no place else she'd rather be Ballerina dance for me
