All alone in the twilight



I'm a shadow in the room



Time is my companion



But it turned its back too soon



Imagination will take me anywhere I want to go



But with my ballerina



Both of us lost in a-



Love light from an old Roman candle



Midnight won't be the same



When I close my eyes



We're dancin' right into the flame



The pciture is fading



Like a vision from my soul



Nothing left but a memory



In the silver afterglow



She may be gone, but not forgotten



Inside my heart, yeah-



But with my ballerina



Both of us lost in a-



Love light from an old Roman candle



Midnight won't be the same



When I close my eyes



We're dancin' right into the flame



My mind seems to wander away



And play me like a fool



I wish it could be like the way it was



'Cause life can be so cruel



But with my ballerina



I live in a dream of a-



Love light from an old Roman candle



Midnight won't be the same



When I close my eyes



We're dancin' right into the flame



Love light from an old Roman candle



Midnight won't be the same



When I close my eyes



We're dancin' right into the flame
