She's a little ballerina  Who can dance without s sound  In an old burned out building  In a part of old town  And there in sunlit terrace  Where her shadow almost fades  She dances to the music of a  Morning parade.  And though some see her  They don't care that much  She's a little girl who dances  With the angels touch.  Lil used ta twirl for me  Oh, many years on back  We'd stand upon the fire escape  And she danced upon the tracks  And there in a moonlit garden  I would talk about my scenes  Lil would do her dance'n  And I would talk about my dreams  And, oh with these old heals  Under me now if I ever get back  I'll tell her this right now.  If you see Lil in the moonlight  Tell her I'm doing fine,  I'm all right and O.K.  If you see Lil in the moonlight  Tell her I am fine and I'm O.K.  When it came time for me to go  I lit another cigarette  Has Lil put on a show  And there I'd sit in her stairwell  And look between the blinds  And I'd go and pull her covers up  Just one last time  And oh as I walked out  Into the city streets  I'd look back through the window  And see Lil upon her feet  Well, they say that she is dancing  In a midnight hourglass  With an only rose that's there  Has her supporting cast  And they say that she pours tea  For a crowd that isn't there  Lil will go on dance'n  Cuz she just don't care  And if I ever get back  It won't be the same  Cuz she'll know I've been out there,  Play n' sane.
