Emmylou Harris - Waltz Of The Magic Man lyrics

The very first time I ever saw my Tommy love He came dancing into my room And I felt the sunlight sparkle warm Out from his magic shoes And he danced so proud And he laughed so wild And he charmed me like a piper When he smiled So dance with me, dance with me, sing with me can't you see I'm following the rainbow kissed strands of your magic carol Follow your joyful song anywhere, anywhere my raggedy magical music man For I am only your tag along raggedy-anne and I want you to hold me As long as your raggedy magical music carol can He asked me if I'd like to have my own parade I answer yes and he blew his golden horn Then the violins and the trumpets rang out he led them all In a coat of many colors patched and torn And he swung me to a loving sound While the fiddlers played and pranced around He spun so fast 'til we left the ground Then the music filled the heavens with a joyful noise The stars would dance to greet us as we'd come Then he'd wave his hand and send them back to the morning light And we'd keep climbing through the midnight sun On a rocking horse with wings we'd fly To a place where dreams can never die Lovers little children in the sky So dance with me, dance with me, sing with me can't you see I'm following the rainbow kissed strands of your magic carol Follow your joyful song anywhere, anywhere my raggedy magical music man For I am only your tag along raggedy-anne and I want you to hold me As long as your raggedy magical music carol can And when it came time for my Tommy love to leave I begged him please to stay and save my soul And with a fading voice I heard him say as he danced away You know I can't even save my own And now when I look up I see The stars are dancing the same as he I think of him wherever he may be And he danced so proud And he laughed so wild And he charmed me like a piper When he smiled And he danced so proud And he laughed so wild Charmed me like a piper When he smiled And he danced
