Lyrics
[Chorus]
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, she was a seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, she'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
[Verse 1]
Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back, she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
[Verse 2]
Piano man, he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on, she sings the song
The words she knows, the tune she hums
[Verse 3]
But, oh, how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I sing softly, slowly
[Chorus]
And hold me closer, tiny dancer
And count the headlights on the highway
And lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
[Verse 4]
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, she was a seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, yeah, she married a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her, she was dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
[Chorus]
And hold me closer, tiny dancer
And count the headlights on the highway
And lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
And hold me closer, tiny dancer
And count the headlights on the highway
And lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
