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

Thanks, Jeff; did you ever hear the song "Music Box Dancer" by Frank Mills? It is from the 80's and is played with piano only and no words. He wrote it for his daughter. My dad gave me a music box with this song and I was inspired in my teens to write lyrics for this beautiful tune.

Very touching and introspective. A father's thought on his little girl are beautiful yet bittersweet. Thank you
