Blue  jean baby,  L.A. lady,  seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile,  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 hand
Jesus freaks,  out in the street,  handing out tickets for God
Turning back,  she just laughs,  the boulevard is not that bad
Piano man,  he makes his stand,  in the auditorium
Looking on,  she sings the songs,  the words she knows, the tune she hums
 But oh how it feels  so real
Lying  here, with no  one near
Where  only you, and you can hear  me
  °
 When I say, "Softly..."
 "Slowly..."
"Hold  me closer Tiny  Dancer"
