All alone in the twilight   I'm a shadow in the room   Time is my companion   But it turned its back too soon      Imagination takes me anywhere I want to go, oh   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, yeah   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 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
