We'd drive to the river
She'd dance on the levee like it was her stage
My ballerina shined
In the bright lights of my Chevrolet
We used to laugh about that
But deep down I knew that she hadDreams of a dancer spinnin' 'round in her head
I never asked her and she never said
Where they would lead her, I didn't wanna know
I just held on tight till she let go
The music called, she had to answer
The dream of a dancerOne night on the levee
We watched the stars till they disappeared
Softly she swayed to a distant song
Only she could hear
She kissed me, then whispered goodbye
And I saw through the tears in her eyesDreams of a dancer spinnin' 'round in her head
I never asked her and she never said
Where they would lead her I didn't wanna know
I just held on tight till she let go
The music called, she had to answer
The dream of a dancerSometimes I go drivin' at night
Down by the river and I turn out the lightsDreams of a dancer spinnin' 'round in her head
I never asked her and she never said
Where they would lead her I didn't wanna know
I just held on tight till she let go
The music called, she had to answer
The dream of a dancer
