#1.
Eb      Ab                 Eb
I had a date with a pretty ballerina.
Eb          Ab                Eb
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes.
Eb          Ab                 Eb
I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me.
Bbm      Absus4  Ab    Db       Gb         Bb     Eb Ab Eb
Was I surprised, yeah..was I surprised, no not at all.

#2.
Eb           Ab                               Eb
I called her yesterday, it should have been tomorrow.
Eb          Ab                Eb
I could not keep the joy that was inside.
Eb           Ab             Eb
I begged for her to tell me if she really loved me.
Bbm         Absus4      Ab      Db          Gb     Bb      Eb
Somewhere a mountain is moving..afraid it's moving without me.

Eb          Ab                Eb
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes.

Eb         Ab        Eb
And when I wake on a dreary Sunday morning.
Eb     Ab            Eb
I open up my eyes to find there's rain.
Eb            Ab                   Eb
And something strange within said, go ahead and find her.
Bbm             Absus4  Ab    Db              Gb
Just close your eyes,   yeah..just close your eyes 
    Bb        Eb
and she'll be there.
