I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance
And then she obliged me
Was I surprised, yeah
Was I surprised,
No not at all
I called her yesterday,
It should have been tomorrow
I could not keep
The joy that was inside
I begged for her to tell me
If she really loved me
Somewhere a mountain is moving
Afraid its moving without me
I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance
And then she obliged me
Was I surprised, yeah
Was I surprised, no not at all
And when I wake on a dreary sunday morning
I open up my eyes to find theres rain
And something strange within said,
Go ahead and find her
Just close your eyes, yeah
Just close your eyes and shell be there
Shell be there...

I had forgotten this song until hearing a fragment of it a few minutes ago. We're talking like 5 milliseconds. Powerful stuff, some music is. A puff, and it all comes flooding back.

Great song, great song, great song. "Somewhere a mountain is moving...afraid it's moving without me." One of the saddest lyrics in music history. Combine those words with the melody and you want to cry.

As gorgeous as Walk Away Renee is, this is even more so! One of the top five songs of the sixties, i m o.

What a rare treat to hear this song and see your video. This has been one of my all-time favorites since I was I was a kid, a little ballerina myself. I could listen to this haunting song and dance around practicing my steps. Of course I'd also daydream of the wonderful guy who would fall in love with me someday and think of me when this song played. Thank you for this.
