Words and Music by Larry Whitler
When she was a young girl
She and her Dad
Would visit the ballet
And she'd say
Those days were the best days
She ever had---
And she'd dream to be
The Prima Ballerina
The slowly turning girl
In the snow globe dancing world
And she'd say---
I was the dancer
In the snow globe
Turning a pas de bourree
Shake me around
And the snow comes down
I was a snow globe ballerina
In the shopping store ballet---
Life isn't ever
The things that we get
So she gives us a smile and says
At her age
She can still turn
A mean pirouette---
And she still can dream
That she's that ballerina
The slowly turning girl
In the snow globe dancing world---
I was the dancer
In the snow globe
Turning a pas de bourree
Shake me around
And the snow comes down
I was a snow globe ballerina
In the shopping store ballet---
The nurse came in early
To help her get dressed
Today is the day
Her grandson's daughter
Was dancing
And they say, "She's the best"---
She's got her Mema's dream to be a dancer
The slowly turning girl
In the snow globe dancing world---
Then she says,
I am the dancer
In the snow globe
Turning a pas de bourree
Shake me around
And the snow comes down
I am the snow globe ballerina
In the shopping mall ballet---
I am the dancer
In the snow globe
Turning a pas de bourree
Shake me around
And the snow comes down
I am the snow globe ballerina
In the shopping mall ballet---
