bill staines - for a dancer lyrics
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
