Sung by Laura, who explains why she never had a career in dance, “I loved it…it just didn’t love me.”
lyrics
LAURA
Mother was certain that I’d be the dancer
The darling, the belle of the stage
I gave it my all and life gave me my answer
By letting me turn middle-age
But sometime it seems that a little girl’s dreams
Start dancing around in my head
Then I start feeling feelings
Of a memory I thought was dead
I still recall how it felt before curtain
On a long ago, recital night
My calling was chosen, my future was certain
My pirouettes working just right
I still remember each step of my dance
Each gesture I made to my Prince
My costume was beautiful
Heaven knows, I’ve never looked that pretty since
Enter Stage Right, bow to Prince Charming
Run to his arms, fall, he will catch you
Exit Down Left, into the sunset
Never get old…
Poor, silly little girl
Never really knew the difference between what’s real and dream
In my heart I see there’s a part of me
That will never grow old
Sometimes it seem that a little girl’s dreams
Will sparkle then fade like the dew
But I promise dear that as long as I’m here
It’ll never be that way for you
