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
