I had a date
with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant
that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance
And then she obliged me
Was I surprised yeah
Was I surprised no not at all
I called her yesterday
It should have been tomorrow
I could not keep
The joy that was inside
I begged for her to tell me
If she really loved me
Somewhere a mountain
is moving
Afraid it's moving
without me
La la la la la
La la
I had a date
with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant
that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance
And then she obliged me
Was I surprised yeah
Was I surprised no not at all
And when I wake on
a dreary Sunday morning
I open up my eyes
to find there's rain
And something strange
within said
Go ahead and find her
Just close your eyes yeah
Just close your eyes
and she'll be there
She'll be there
She'll be there
