You woke up Even with the nightlight on You’re seeing shadows in the break of dawn You called out Deep inside a dream of my own It was a nightmare I was all alone
There was not a little ballerina Dancing for no one besides herself
You buzz/Around me like/A honey bee The world/Brand new/Awaits you/Wait for me…
Fill the cup Water always does the trick Seal the lid and let you cry with it You grown up I wrestle with it every day But you will always be my girl this way
I know there was a time before you But for the life of me I can’t recall
You bound/Around me/Always fancy free The world/Brand new Awaits you/Wait for me…
Ask me why There's pain and there's lies Don't always have the answer but I'm happy to try
Ask me how There's you and there's now I'll share it with you soon as I can figure it out
Hang on my love Times running out Cherish the day that's what life is about
So ask me what Song I should sing Ill hum it just to hear you ask anything There you are Smiling in the same old way Cause maybe it’s your wedding day I see it Clear as I can see your face There’s someone who steals your heart away
But you will always be my ballerina Dancing like we only have ourselves
And you fly/Around me Swaying next to me The world/Brand new/Awaits you Wait for me…/Wait for me.
