There was a girl who danced the day
to songs that none would ever play
she made no sounds
nor smiled no smiles
but danced and pranced my tears away

She kicked her legs, and grabbed her toes
to secret music no one knows
a pirouette
a curtsied bow
a silent, music fairy pose

another time, a dream perhaps
my music water fairy naps
and then she dreams
of dancer things
of ballet shoes and toes with taps
