All alone in the twilight
I'm a shadow in the room
Time is my companion
But it turned its back too soon
Imagination takes me anywhere I want to go, oh
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 picture 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, yeah
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 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
