Lynn Ahrens - Gliding lyrics

TATEH (spoken): Shh. Don't cry. Don't be afraid. I'm here. We're together. Shh. Look! Shh. Look what I've made for you TATEH: See the silhouettes It's a little book of silhouettes When you flip the pages, they move Look how nice This is you on skates Turning pretty figure-eights On the smooth, cool ice We are gliding Gliding on a pond Close your eyes Close your eyes We are gliding Gliding far beyond Close your eyes Close your eyes Feel the wind as you pirouette Are you happy yet? Are you happy yet? Your Mameh would tell you: "Imagine you're fearless Imagine you're fearless And soon, you won't fear" When I am afraid I imagine your Mameh She skates just ahead Can you see her? She's here And we're gliding Gliding far away Pirouettes, figure-eights, silver skates Just down the track Glide with me, little one Glide with your Tateh We'll never look back CONDUCTOR (spoken): My kid would like that. How much? TATEH (spoken): It's not for s- one dollar CONDUCTOR (spoken): It's a deal. What do you call it? TATEH (spoken): I... CONDUCTOR (spoken): It's gotta have a name. I'm not paying this much for something without a name TATEH (spoken): They move. I call them - movie - books! Oh, your father is a smart man! With this money, we will get a clean bed and a hot bath, and tomorrow we will make more of these and we will sell them for TWO dollars. Tateh's Movie Books! Everyone will want them. They just don't know that yet! TATEH: We are gliding Gliding far away Pirouettes, figure-eights, silver skates Just down the track Glide with me, little one Glide with your Tateh We'll never look back
