She was in a class of 44 beautiful dancers And I watched her pirouette around the stars In her poms And I must have told her one thousand times In my mind, that I loved her I got drunk one night, she was on the steps She touched my shoulder oh oh oh oh
I was young and full of grace When I stepped into the fire, with my dancer She had barely come of age But she was egging me on, all the way down And I told her as the ship sank That I loved her And I told her as we walked off of the plank I was all hers Oh oh oh oh
