Lyrics for Dancing On The Ceiling

The world is lyrical Because a miracle Has brought my lover to me Though he's some other place, his face I see At night, I creep in bed And never sleep in bed But look above in the air And to my greatest joy, my boy is there It is my prince who walks Into my dreams and talks He dances overhead On the ceiling near my bed In my sight Through the night I try to hide in vain Underneath my counterpane There's my love Up above I whisper, "Go away, my lover It's not fair" But I'm so grateful to discover He's still there I love my ceiling more Since it is a dancing floor Just for my love I whisper, "Go away, my lover It's not fair" But I'm so grateful to discover He's still there I love my ceiling more Since it is a dancing floor Just for my love Just for my love
