Dance Little Girl Dance

Laura l Suhr 1965 (NY)



Dance little Girl dance you are a beautiful sight
Flow like the wind on a cold winter's night
Your eyes are so blue crystal and clear
Like the icicles that hang near

Dance little Girl, dance you are a beautiful sight
Jump up high into the air
And when you land it will be so lite
Your hair is like springtime, so fresh and so pure
You wonder if I make it, and they say, oh sure!

Dance little Girl, dance you are a beautiful sight
Be free like the birds high in the sky
You are an angel waiting to fly
