For a Dancer Lyrics

Here I am looking for a song to sing,
Trying to picture everything I know of you.
Here I go, looking for a melody
Trying to match your eyes with words and poetry,
So near and yet so far, so close to you who are, but not the same

Flowers on your tabletop, the sunlight in your hair.

And if I could be a dancer too, I'd carry you away.
But I must play the music and think of you today

Here I am looking for a song to sing,
Trying to picture everything I know of you
