Story Behind The Song
Inspired on seeing a picture of a female pianist playing her Grand Piano with the view of the City lights way below!
Song Description
Inspiration came easily for this Imaginary, Lonely, Heroine!
The Initial Lyric was very descriptive but too long, so it was cut, cut, and cut till the final version was born!
I envisaged the Mystique of a lonely lady who came down from her Ivory Tower each day carrying a single Red Rose; which was always gone on her return!
It was just a pleasure to fashion her story in a song!

Lyrics
I See Her Dancing ©?Jim Aitken
(Waltz music Intro!)
1
At twelve I see her every day, passing by my small café
Clutching A single red rose
She comes down from her Tour d'ivoire clinging to that sacred flower
And Where she goes, no one knows
Ch
I see her dancing by the light of the moon
See her dance to a haunting musical tune
I see her dancing, it's her honeymoon
As they waltz, she glows
Where the graceful waters flow
2
I follow where, our lady goes, she kneels to pray beside a stone
Her hero and lover lies there
In the mist she's not alone, I see him rising from that stone
And place that tender rose in her hair
Ch
I see her dancing by the light of the moon
See her dance to a haunting musical tune
I see her dancing, it's their honeymoon
As they waltz, she glows
Where the graceful waters flow
Bridge (waltz Music)
Then one day she passed no more, I breached the walls of tour d'ivoire
But our lady of the rose had slipped away
3
At twelve each day I go alone and place a rose upon that stone
As rolling mist creates an eerie glow
You may see them dance and sway, as haunting music starts to play
Where the graceful waters flow
Ch
I see her dancing by the light of the moon
See her dance to a haunting musical tune
I see her dancing, it's their honeymoon
As they waltz, she glows
Where the graceful waters flow
(Waltz Music to finish)
