Little Ballerina Songtext
von Emile Haynie

I just want the chance to let that little ballerina come dance
I know it′s hard to find romance
When all your dreams slipped out your hands
Oh, darlin'

I just want the chance to let that little ballerina come dance
I know it′s hard to find romance
When all your dreams slipped out your hands
Oh, darlin'

Come the nighttime, I'm your lifeline
(Such a fool to fall), maybe I′m a fool for love
(Such a fool to fall), maybe I′m a fool for love
(Such a fool to fall), for love, for love, for love, for love

As soon as she walked in, we started talkin'
As if nobody else exist
With her bleach blonde hair and her cold hard stare
And her lucky 13 on her wrist


And all night long, I play my song
′Til she broke down in tears
Oh, we're just the same, caught up in the game
Of life so hold me, my dear

′Cause all I need is time
All I need is time

I just want the chance to let that little ballerina come dance
I know it's hard to find romance
When all your dreams slipped out your hands
Oh, darlin′

I just want the chance to let that little ballerina come dance
I know it's hard to find romance
When all your dreams slipped out your hands
Oh, darlin'

So I take her to the ocean, love to watch her floating
Hoping that she drifts my way
All those waves drown her sorrow
She′ll need me tomorrow
So what′s another empty day?

But all my friends, they see the end
She's been doing this for years
But I swear I know that her heart can grow
Beyond that lonely little life that she fears


′Cause all I need is time
All I need is time

I just want the chance to let that little ballerina come dance
I know it's hard to find romance
When all your dreams slipped out your hands
Oh, darlin′

You've been trying so hard for all of your life
Never got it quite right
This, I know
Oh, you say you need it slow or you just lose control
But babe, if I find a way
To take all your mind away from the cold
Just tell me that you′ll go, oh

I just want the chance to let that little ballerina come dance
I know it's hard to find romance
When all your dreams slipped out your hands
Oh, darlin'

I just want the chance to let that little ballerina come dance
I know it′s hard to find romance
When all your dreams slipped out your hands
Oh, darlin′
Come the nighttime, I'm your lifeline
(Such a fool to fall), maybe I′m a fool for love
(Such a fool to fall), maybe I'm a fool for love
(Such a fool to fall), for love, for love, for love, for love
Maybe I′m a fool for love, (such a fool to fall)
Maybe I'm a fool for love, (such a fool to fall)
Maybe I′m a fool for love, (such a fool to fall)
For love, for love, for love
