When I say softly, slowly
Turning back she just laughs
Count the headlights on the highway
But oh, how it feels so real
Seamstress for the band
You had a busy day today
And now she's in me, always with me
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady
In the auditorium
Ballerina, you must have seen her
Count the headlights on the highway
Lying here with no one near
Dancing in the sand
When I say softly, slowly
Songwriters: Elton John, Bernie Taupin
Looking on she sings the songs
But oh, how it feels so real
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady
Only you and you can hear me
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Jesus freaks out in the street
You'll marry a music man
Lay me down in sheets of linen
Count the headlights on the highway
Pretty eyed, pirate smile
Tiny dancer in my hand
The Boulevard is not that bad
You had a busy day today
Pretty eyed, pirate smile
Tiny dancer in my hand
Lay me down in sheets of linen
Handing tickets out for God
You had a busy day today
Lying here with no one near
Ballerina, you must have seen her
Seamstress for the band
Count the headlights on the highway
Hold me closer tiny dancer
You'll marry a music man
You had a busy day today
Piano man he makes his stand
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Lay me down in sheets of linen
Dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Lay me down in sheets of linen
The words she knows, the tune she hums
Only you and you can hear me
