The Ballerina Song Songtext

von Kenny Rogers

Turn out the lights
Leave me alone
For in my darkness I have found a home
All by my self
Here in the cold
But in my solitude I will search my soul
I want some one to look at me
Not what I am what I can be
There's just so much a heart can take
And then there's nothing left to break
There in the light blinded by fame
I was the brightest star and they all knew my name
I danced and danced
They wanted more
And every night they laid there roses at my door
I loved the way they looked at me
When I was all that I could be
I gave my all to all who came
Will I ever be the same
Covered with dust
Just in the way
What I could give if I could dance my pain away
I'd close my eyes
Get lose in time
Till I could find the hidden place here in my mind
Where I will wait till I can see some one who loves me just for me
