For a Dancer

Here I am looking for a song to sing

Trying to picture everything I know of you

Here I go, looking for a melody

Trying to match your eyes with words and poetry

So near and yet so far, so close to you who are, but not the same

The soft white dancer, a locket with a rose

A feather for a prancer with ribbons for her clothes

Here I am looking for a song to sing

Trying to picture everything I know of you

Here I go, looking for a melody

Trying to match your eyes with words and poetry

So far and yet so near, your smile is still oh so clear and I recall

Apples in the afternoon, the good French wine we shared

Flowers on your tabletop, the sunlight in your hair

And if I could be a dancer too, I'd carry you away

But I must play the music and think of you today

Here I am looking for a song to sing

Trying to picture everything I know of you
