Caterina Ballerina Lyrics

Once there was a ballerina
Where she came from no one knew
People called her Caterina
Only I knew that wasn't true
When I first saw Caterina
She was only seventeen
Just a lovely ballerina
Nor a princess nor a queen
She would dance away the hours
She was living in a dream
All the princes brought her flowers
Even though she was no queen

And all the people came
From every corner of the world
To see her
And when they saw her dancing
They would call encore, Caterina
And all the people still remember
How they loved the ballerina
She lived the music when she danced
She loved but there was no romance
She left a song called Caterina
She would dance away the hours
She was living in a dream
All the princes brought her flowers
Even though she was no queen
And all the people came
From every corner of the world
To see her
And when they saw her dancing
They would call encore, Caterina
And all the people still remember
How they loved the ballerina
She lived the music when she danced
She loved but there was no romance
She left a song called Caterina
