Verse 1

Blue jean baby, L.A lady...seamstress for the band 
Pretty eyed, pirate smile...you'll marry a music man 
Ballerina...you must've seen her...
Dancing in the sand 
Now she's in me...always with me... Tiny dancer, in my hand   

Instrumental

C F/C x2

Verse 2

Jesus freaks out in the street Handing tickets out for God 
Turning back she just laughs The boulevard is not that bad 
Piano man he makes his stand 
In their auditorium 
Looking on, she sings the songs the words she knows,
the tune she hums   

Instrumental

C F/C x2
[Pre-Chorus] (played staccato)
But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you, and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly

Chorus

Hold me closer tiny dancer 
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen 
You had a busy day today
Hold me closer tiny dancer 
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen 
You had a busy day today

Instrumental

Blue jean baby, L.A lady...seamstress for the band

Hold me closer tiny dancer 
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen 
You had a busy day today
Hold me closer tiny dancer 
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen 
You had a busy day today
