From the recording Acoustic Winter
Lyrics
Words and music by Michelle Malone
Looking through a photo book
I found a picture that I took
When you were maybe 22
Easy smile, green ocean eyes,
Coffee-colored shaggy style
With your whole life in front of you
Underneath the mirror ball my camera caught you
dancing with a thousand tiny lights
underneath the mirror ball up in the heavens
You dance from star to star for me tonight
I haven’t seen you now for years
you would not recognize me
Ive earned every line and every gray
Now you are immortalized
Forever young, and no valentine
Can reach you, so I’m singing out
Underneath the mirror ball my camera caught you
dancing with a thousand tiny lights
underneath the mirror ball up in the heavens
You dance from star to star for me tonight
Everything has changed
Everything has changed except you
Except for you
Underneath the mirror ball my camera caught you
dancing with a thousand tiny lights
underneath the mirror ball up in the heavens
You dance from star to star for me tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
