Dreams of a Dancer
She'd dance on the levee
Like it was her stage
My ballerina, shined in the bright lights
Of my Chevrolet
We used to laugh about that
But deep down I knew that she had
Dreams of a dancer
Spinnin' round in her head
I never asked her
And she never said
Where they would lead her
I didn't want to know
I just held on tight
Till she let go
The music called
She had to answer
The dream of a dancer
One night on the levee
We watched the stars
Till they disappeared
Softly she swayed
To a distant song
Only she could hear
She kissed me then whispered good-bye
And I saw through the tears in her eyes
Dreams of a dancer
Spinnin' round in her head
I never asked her
And she never said
Where they would lead her
I didn't want to know
I just held on tight
Till she let go
The music called
She had to answer
The dream of a dancer
Sometimes I go drivin' at night
Down by the river and I turn out the lights
Dreams of a dancer
Spinnin' round in her head
I never asked her
And she never said
Where they would lead her
I didn't want to know
I just held on tight
Till she let go
The music called
She had to answer
The dream of a dancer
