I had not heard this song in years.....it's about a guy in love with a pretty ballerina.
For years, I've seen pictures and videos of the girls dancing and performing. They are a family treasure!
They were always very entertaining and looked great! I'm sure that they learned to dance from my sister, their mother!
So let me dedicate this song to my dancing "pretty ballerina" nieces.
They are Courtney (my political buddy), Christine (still dancing), Leslie (very reliable if you need a ride from a military base) and Stephanie (my baseball buddy).
And thanks to Lee & Lidia for giving us such beautiful girls!

"I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance
and then she obliged me
Was I surprised, yeah?
Was I surprised, no not at all
I called her yesterday
it should have been tomorrow
I could not keep the joy that was inside
I begged for her to tell me
If she really loved me
Somewhere a mountain is moving
I'm afraid it's moving without me
I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance
and then she obliged me
Was I surprised, yeah?
Was I surprised, no not at all
And when i wake on a dreary Sunday morning
I open up my eyes to find there's rain
and something strange within says go ahead and find her
just close your eyes yeah
Just close your eyes and
she'll be there
She'll be there
She'll be there...."
