LITTLE MISS DANCE
She walks across the empty floor
as though the world has ended
Another night has made its rounds,
and she still goes on...
Her dress, she will save for another night,
then wear it as though it were new...
Oh, she tried to show herself off in her own very common manner
By walking back and forth continually
as though she carried a melody...
She never danced, but only watched
as she sat in her own little corner.
Lost in a world of unconcern, a world where she is a loner...
The lights are out, the music hushed, and now her world begins,
a world of dreams and everywhere the sound of violins.
She dances across the stardust floor
in the arms of a lover she has found,
her hair making golden circles of light
as he takes her round and round.
The music comes from across the clouds, floating softly in her ear.
Just for a moment, soaring up high, her heart has no fear.
Then tears come softly across her cheeks.
In her dreams she is such a romancer,
...yet on this cold and empty floor, she is just a lonely little miss dancer.
