Lyrics

“Ballerina with a Sparkler” (A. Woodley)

ballerina
with a sparkler
dancing over Sydney harbour
see her smiling
on the wild wind
lift me higher
take me away
lift me higher
take me away

signorina
bella donna
be my lover
forever
piu ancora
per la vita
lift me higher
take me away
lift me higher
take me away

all aboard wedding ferry
come to carry thee over
cross the water
we’re in God’s eyes
to be married

ballerina
with a sparkler
dancing over Sydney harbour
see her smiling
on the wild wind
gonna tell her
that I love her

ballerina
with a sparkler
we’re in God’s eyes
to be married
signorina bella donna
be my lover forever

lift me higher
take me away
lift me higher
take me away
lift me higher

all aboard wedding ferry
come to carry thee over
cross the water
we’re in God’s eyes
to be married

ballerina
with a sparkler
dancing over Sydney harbour
signorina bella donna
be my lover forever
lift me higher
take me away
lift me higher
take me away

ballerina
ballerina
with a sparkler
ballerina
