The Left Banke - Pretty Ballerina Lyrics

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 beg for her to tell me if she really loved me
Some where a mountain is moving
Afraid it's moving without me

La la la la la

I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that hurt my eyes
I asked 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 says 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
