All alone in the twilight I'm a shadow in the room Time is my companion But it turned it's 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 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 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
