THE LEFT BANKE- " PRETTY BALLERINA" (W/ LYRICS)

THIS SONG BY THE LEFT BANKE WENT TO # 15 IN 1967.

LYRICS:

I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance
and then she obliged me
Was I surprised, yeah?
Was I surprised, no not at all

I called her yesterday
it should have been tomorrow
I could not keep the joy that was inside
I begged for her to tell me
If she really loved me
Somewhere a mountain is moving
I'm afraid it's moving without me

(refrain)
(Instrumental violins)

La la la laaaaaaaaa la

I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance
and then she obliged me
Was I surprised, yeah?
Was I surprised, no not at all

And when i wake on a dreary Sunday morning
I open up my eyes to find there's rain
and something strange within says go ahead and find her
just close your eyes yeah
Just close your eyes and
she'll be there
She'll be there
She'll be there
