Lyrics
The Dancer
I remember you when the curtain fell
I remember how you danced so well
Eastern prince of a humble home,
inspiration to another throne.
Perfect art from physical form
Perfect art that still performs
Warmth that came in from the cold
Your warmth that touched my soul
I remember you when the curtain fell
I remember how you danced so well.
