Elton John
"Tiny Dancer" lyrics

Tiny Dancer

Blue jean baby
LA lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty-eyed
Pirate smile
You'll marry a music man

Ballerina
You must've seen her
Dancing in the sand
And now she's in me
Always with me
Tiny dancer
In my hand

Jesus freaks
Out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back
She just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man
He makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on
She sings the songs
The words she knows
The tune she hums

But, oh, how it feels so real
Lying here
With no one near
Only you
And you can hear me
When I say softly
Slowly

Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

Blue jean baby
LA lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty-eyed
Pirate smile
You'll marry a music man

Ballerina
You must've seen her
Dancing in the sand
And now she's in me
Always with me
Tiny dancer
In my hand

Oh, how it feels so real
Lying here
With no one near
Only you
And you can hear me
When I say softly
Slowly

Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
