Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyes, pirate smiles, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
Now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hands
[Verse 2]
Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back, she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
[Verse 3]
Piano man, he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums
[Verse 4]
Oh, how it feels so real
Lying here, no one near
Only you, and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
[Verse 5]
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
[Verse 6]
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smiles, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you should have seen her dancing in the sand
Now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
[Verse 7]
Oh, how it feels so real
Lying here, no one near
Only you, and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
[Verse 8]
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
