All alone in the twilight
  I'm a shadow in the room
  Time is my companion
  But it turned its back too soon
  Imagination will take me anywhere I want to go
  But with my ballerina
  Both of us lost in a-
  Love light from an old Roman candle
  Midnight won't be the same
  When I close my eyes
  We're dancin' right into the flame
  The pciture is fading
  Like a vision from my soul
  Nothing left but a memory
  In the silver afterglow
  She may be gone, but not forgotten
  Inside my heart, yeah-
  But with my ballerina
  Both of us lost in a-
  Love light from an old Roman candle
  Midnight won't be the same
  When I close my eyes
  We're dancin' right into the flame
  My mind seems to wander away
  And play me like a fool
  I wish it could be like the way it was
  'Cause life can be so cruel
  But with my ballerina
  I live in a dream of a-
  Love light from an old Roman candle
  Midnight won't be the same
  When I close my eyes
  We're dancin' right into the flame
  Love light from an old Roman candle
  Midnight won't be the same
  When I close my eyes
  We're dancin' right into the flame
