Ballerina (1992 Digital Remaster)

Ballerina - Nat King Cole

Dance ballerina dance

And do your pirouette in rhythm

With your achin' heart

Dance ballerina dance

You mustn't once forget a dancer

Has to dance the part

Whirl ballerina whirl

And just ignore the chair

That's empty in the second row

This is your moment girl

Although he's not out there applauding

As you steal the show

Once you said his love must

Wait it's turn

You wanted fame instead

I guess that's your concern

We live and learn

And love is gone ballerina gone

So on with your career

You can't afford a backward glance

Dance on and on and on

A thousand people here

Have come to see the show

As 'round and 'round you go

So ballerina dance

Dance dance

Whirl ballerina

Once you said his love

Must wait it's turn

You wanted fame instead

I guess that's your concern

We live and learn

And love is gone ballerina gone

So on with your career

You can't afford a backward glance

Dance on and on and on

A thousand people here

Have come to see the show

As 'round and 'round you go

So ballerina dance

Dance
