DESCRIPTION:
Here's a video for "Pretty Ballerina", a beautiful sentimental ballad by "The Left Banke" (USA 1966). The music works very well with the animation, borrowed from the movie "Tin Soldier" (USSR).
I claim no rights - I made it as a labour of love! The lyrics:

I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me
Was I surprised, yeah
Was I surprised, no not at all

I called her yesterday, it should have been tomorrow
I could not keep the joy that was inside
I begged for her to tell me if she really loved me
Somewhere a mountain is moving
Afraid it's moving without me

I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me
Was I surprised, yeah
Was I surprised, no not at all

And when I wake on a dreary Sunday morning
I open up my eyes to find there's rain
And something strange within said "go ahead and find her
Just close your eyes, yeah
Just close your eyes and she'll be there..."
