Ballerina

Lyrics

Dance, ballerina, dance,
 and do your pirouette
 in rhythm with your aching heart.
 dance, ballerina, dance,
 you musn't once forget
 a dancer has to dance the part.
 whirl, ballerina, whirl,
 and just ignore the chair
 that's empty in the second row.
 this is your moment, girl,
 although he's not out there
 applauding as you steal the show.
 once you said
 his love must wait its turn.
 you wanted fame instead;
 i guess that's your concern;
 we live and learn.
 and love is gone, ballerina, gone,
 so on with your career;
 you can't afford a backward glance.
 dance on and on and on;
 a thousand people here
 have come to see the show
 as round and round you go,
 so ballerina dance, dance, dance.
