My little ballerina, how I love you so
My heart is yours forever
Wherever you may go
I sit and watch you learning
about things beyond your years,
And my heart is filled with laughter
even through my tears.
No, not the tears of pain
And not the tears of sorrow
but the happy tears of loving
As I hope for your tomorrows
I would fill them all with dancing,
With music, and with love
I would fill them all with blessings
from our Father high above.
I could watch you here forever
but I know it cannot be
one day you'll be a big girl
and dance away from me
But today is not that day
and you're mine a little longer
You're dancing just for me now
and my love for you grows stronger
My little ballerina, how I love you so
My heart is yours forever
Wherever you may go.
