[00:00.15]You walk in the room and you're wearing a frown
[00:39.45]You reach for the shelf and cradle it down
[00:40.35]The Music Box Dancer what does it prove
[00:43.98]Only that you need to see a statue that moves
[00:44.91]A tutu of satin bordered with lace
[00:46.68]Slender lines agile legs a wonderland face
[00:47.88]Her beauty is balanced an immovable pose
[00:49.02]Eternally destined to remain on her toes
[00:49.92]Music Box Dancer she is only a toy
[00:50.76]Project upon her your dreams of wanting life's joy
[00:52.05]She's perched on her stand and never will part
[00:53.22]A final gaze upon her now the music will start
[00:54.33]You wind the doll up it's nostalgic because
[02:20.82]You've been here before so give one final pause
[02:21.78]To dream of the future to reflect on the past
[02:22.80]Music Box Dancer start your whirling at last
[02:26.19]The room fills with music such a cute song
[02:27.12]Watching her go 'round and 'round she's where she belongs
[02:28.02]Bring joy to the watchers spreading a glow
[02:28.86]Whenever wound up she'll put on a good show
[02:29.70]Music Box Dancer do you think or believe
[02:34.02]She could step off her box if she wanted to leave
[02:35.04]So easy it is twirl around with such grace
[02:46.89]Staying in her circle she remains in one place
[02:47.97]Such a brief moment a small time to spend
[02:54.96]The dancing will slow soon the music will end
[02:55.95]In real life we're plastic nature's unfair
[02:56.85]How can we breathe life how can we share
[02:57.63]The knowledge and insights hidden in tombs
[02:58.50]We're all Music Box Dancers all alone in our rooms
[02:59.64]We sit on our shelves where objects reside
[03:03.06]We don't allow the music to get right inside
[03:04.02]Music Box Dancer's now completely alone
[03:05.01]No winder or no listener because nobody's home
[03:06.03]How long before someone will re wind the spring
[03:11.46]The room will now be witness and silence can't sing
