Dancing Your Dreams
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I dance and close my eyes, this is what I see...
White feathers, princess crowns,
Satin shoes, and gorgeous gowns,
I'll be Cinderella and you can be a queen
In the spotlight it's pure magic, dancing your dreams
Let's go ask someone who knows all about ballet!
White feathers, princess crowns,
Satin shoes, and gorgeous gowns,
Spin on a snowflake or reach across moon beams
In the spotlight it's pure magic, dancing your dreams
New York is the greatest place;
There's so much to see.
Broadway has the brightest lights.
There's Miss Liberty.
King Kong climbed the Empire State
Still the place for me
This is Lincoln Center, it's where I want to be.
(Intstrumental)
White feathers, princess crowns,
Satin shoes, and gorgeous gowns,
Bright as the starlight, or that's just how it seems
In the spotlight it's pure magic, dancing your dreams

Excellent job Breanna. Stick with the ballet and in no time you'll be winning trophies and ribbons. As for the camera work. It takes some getting used to shooting video. A dark theater is not as easy as it seems. Most all people have problems w/ the focus when zooming. It just takes some practice. Good video though. Youtube wirthy
