Tiny Dancer
Ironik & Chipmunk & Elton John Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're my star, my light, my whole entire life
Without you it's blurry, and I can't see why
My friends say James are you feeling alright?
And I just think that I'm dreaming all night
When I'm with you I feel I've been saved
And I want to thank your Mum and Dad for what they made
So I just want to say I'm going to keep you
For life, 24/7 I hope to

Hold you closer and don't let go
I need to know how you feel too
So hold me closer and don't let go
I'm falling so please girl don't let go

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

You're my perfect dream, we're the perfect team
I'm the King, you're the Queen, you're the book that I read
Without you it feels like there's no me
And that's why its you that I just want to keep
How many times have I told you that I love you?
So many times you know I want to hug you
So come and show me what love means
'Cause I don't really know I just seen it in my dreams

I swear hold you closer and don't let go
I need to know how you feel too
So hold me closer and don't let go
I'm falling so please girl don't let go

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

It's crazy, I don't think you recognize how strong the feelings are
So I dedicated this song to you

Look I hope you recognize now what you really mean
Without you I couldn't do this song I sing
And I hope you like it too, 'cause it's nothing but the truth
Your not number 1 but you will be soon

Believe hold you closer and don't let go
I need to know how you feel too
So hold me closer and don't let go
I'm falling so please girl don't let go

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

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





Please I hope your ticking all the words man, it's Ironik

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ironik & Chipmunk & Elton John's song Tiny Dancer express the depth of affection the singer has for his partner. He describes her as the star, the light, and the whole of his life. His world is blurry without her, and he can't see why his friends are worried about him. He hopes to keep her for life, thanking her parents for producing someone so wonderful. He feels saved when he is with her, and he wants to hold her and never let go. His love is so strong that he doesn't think she recognizes how he feels about her, and he dedicates the song to her to show her how much she means to him.


The chorus of the song, 'Hold me closer tiny dancer, count the headlights on the highway, Lay me down in sheets of linen, you've had a busy day today' emphasizes his desire to be near her, feel her warmth and comfort, and help her unwind after a busy day. The tiny dancer signifies his girl and the sheets of linen show the tenderness of their relationship. He talks about how they are the perfect team and how he loves her more than anything in the world.


Interestingly, Tiny Dancer was not a hit when it was first released in 1972 but gained popularity years later. It was inspired by two women, Maxine and Sheila, who worked as servers and traveled with the band on their tour bus. The song has also been used in various films and series, including the memorable scene in "Almost Famous" where everyone on the bus sings along to it. Bernie Taupin, who co-wrote the song with Elton John, claims that the character named 'Jesus freak' mentioned in the song was actually based on a woman they met in Sacramento.
