Lyrics

I See Her Dancing ©?Jim Aitken

(Waltz music Intro!)
1
At twelve I see her every day, passing by my small café
Clutching A single red rose
She comes down from her Tour d'ivoire clinging to that sacred flower
And Where she goes, no one knows

Ch
I see her dancing by the light of the moon
See her dance to a haunting musical tune
I see her dancing, it's her honeymoon
As they waltz, she glows
Where the graceful waters flow

2
I follow where, our lady goes, she kneels to pray beside a stone
Her hero and lover lies there
In the mist she's not alone, I see him rising from that stone
And place that tender rose in her hair

Ch
I see her dancing by the light of the moon
See her dance to a haunting musical tune
I see her dancing, it's their honeymoon
As they waltz, she glows
Where the graceful waters flow

Bridge (waltz Music)
Then one day she passed no more, I breached the walls of tour d'ivoire
But our lady of the rose had slipped away

3
At twelve each day I go alone and place a rose upon that stone
As rolling mist creates an eerie glow
You may see them dance and sway, as haunting music starts to play
Where the graceful waters flow

Ch
I see her dancing by the light of the moon
See her dance to a haunting musical tune
I see her dancing, it's their honeymoon
As they waltz, she glows
Where the graceful waters flow

(Waltz Music to finish)

What a beautiful song folks! Lovely piano, backing strings and vocal. I can see this on a stage as a musical piece.

Very nice voice, hit the melodic intervals very well. The "simple" instrumental accompanying tracks complemented the melody and were mixed to perfection. Nice lyric theme.
