Twirling in Time

Barefoot ballerina in the tall green grass Eyes that sparkle like the sprinkles on a cake Mama's scarfs are a makeshift tutu The stage is this side of the rake Crusted jam on her flailing fingertips Neon boogers in her nose Chuckling like a chasing chipmunk She feels the rhythm in her toes Sway in the sun Twirling in time Like a swan in a lake she has an easy and natural grace Summer song on a carefree dreamy day Soaring silver stereo Potbelly and a saggy diaper butt That she shakes from to and fro She spins like her mermaid mobile That hangs above her bed When she sleeps it waltzes above her Into the dreams in her head Sway in the sun Twirling in time Like a swan in a lake she has an easy and natural grace Like a swan in a lake she has an easy and natural grace Years have passed now she's 22 years older Got a dancer of her own She wears a gilded golden gown with pink polka dots One her nana had sewn Her daughter falls down and gets right back up May she always be this way Growing like a sunflower in July More like her mother every day Sway in the sun Twirling in time Like a swan in a lake she has an easy and natural grace Sway in the sun Twirling in time Like a swan in a lake she has an easy and natural grace Sway in the sun Twirling in time Like a swan in a lake she has an easy and natural grace
