Music Box Dancer
The music box dancer is so young and sweet
turning on a pedestal up on her feet
Admiring her beauty makes all of us feel
special people in our lives could be this real
But only one could be seen through his eyes
she’s the brightest star up in his sky
Now she’s gone and he seems so alone
crying and remembering just how she’d grown
Though every father has his own dreams
this little girl became more than she seems
To him, his life would be so incomplete
without his ballerina with the dancing feet
So for her he wrote this beautiful song
telling her together was where they both belonged
Again in his arms she gives him a kiss
tells about the good and bad, all that he’s missed
She has her own life and now he’s gone
but always on that pedestal he put her on
His star will always shine while dancing ‘til dawn
his music and his dancer will go on and on
