It’s a little story about myself as a small girl, and about a very large woman who used to come to my house, and dance in the hallway, and I used to dance also. It must have looked like a very strange thing, to have this woman come to my house, a big, big woman, and she would put on her ballet outfi...
[Verse 1]
She'd come to my house
And dance in the hall
With the music up loud
Against the light on the wall
And I danced beside her
Feeling no shame
We were in costume
And this was a game
[Verse 2]
She'd put on her skirt
Of layers of chiffon
The top of the umbrella had come off
So I put that on
And we danced together then
An awkward ballet
She's twenty years older than I was
But still we did play
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
She's twenty years older than me
Many times my size
It's her little feet I remember
The look in her eyes
And once when I saw her
She made me a doll
Of ribbon and paper and ink
And lace, I recall
[Verse 4]
I danced beside her
Feeling no shame
'Cause we were in costume
And this was a game
I think of her now that I'm older
I still love to dance
Something will shine through the body
If you give it a chance
[Outro]
(Still love to dance)
(Still love to dance)
(Still love to dance)
(Still love to dance)
(Still love to dance)
(Still love to dance)
