Amsterdam Lyrics

She floats into the bar

Pale pink with rose perfume

Long hair up in a head scarf

Sequins light the gloom

Her accent is peculiar

From many years abroad

English words and youthful charms

Long since began to fade

She says: I came here for the music, I came here to dance

I heard it was the place to be, Amsterdam

She was a ballerina

She could twirl and leap and fly

Though age has slowed her down

She still seems feather-light

She says: I came here for the music, I came here to dance

I heard it was the place to be, Amsterdam

So while we sing and play

Eyes closed, arms stretched out wide

All eyes are upon her

As she begins to dance

She says: I came here for the music, I came here to dance

I heard it was the place to be, Amsterdam

I heard it was the place to be, Amsterdam
