[Eb]
I [Ab] had a date with [Eb] a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance and then she obliged [Bbm] me
Was I [Db] [Ab] surprised?
Yeah
[Db]
Was I [Gb] surprised?
[Bb] No, not [Eb] at all
I called her yesterday, it should've been tomorrow
I could not keep the joy that was inside
I begged for her to tell me if she really loved [Bbm] me
Somewhere on a [Ab] mountain, [Db] who's moving?
Oh, it is [Gb] only [Bb]
[Eb] love me

I
[Eb] had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance and then she obliged [Bbm] me
Was I [Ab] surprised?
[Db] Yeah
Was I [Gb] surprised?
[Bb] No, not [Eb] at all
When I wake on a dreary Sunday morning
I open up my eyes to find there's rain
[Ab] Something strange [Eb] within says go ahead and find [Bbm] her
Just close your [Ab] [Db] eyes, yeah
Just close [Gb] your eyes [Bb] and [Eb] she's there
She'll be there
She'll be [Ab] there
[Eb]
