Benji Marx - Dancer Lyrics

You were a dancer from the Philippines
I built the stage you danced upon
I shined a light, on your material grace
I wish I wrote your favorite song

And oh, I hardly know your name
And oh, I know I play my childish games
And I know, I know, I already know

The way you danced in the movies
I already know
The way you drank your coffee
I already know
The way you moved in the spotlight
I already know
I already know

The second time you came around
I didn't want to see your face
You kept reminding me of what I'd lost
My tender kiss, my warm embrace

And oh, I hardly know your name
And oh, I know I play my childish games
And I know, I know, I already know

The way you danced in the movies
I already know
The way you moved in the spotlight
I already know
The way you drank your coffee
I already know
I already know

Now you're gone, but still your memory
Pulls a longing my brain
Now and then I hear your melody
It plays in rhythm with the rain
