Van Morrison - Ballerina Lyrics

no woman no cry it id true marley another bob i love dylan

it is the same with me if would die tonight nobody would cry and miss me only my dog and a cat

my friend primaballerina ljubica died brokenhearted ad hunger since siop dance she was no able to walk no more we buried her on cristmass y was screaming of pain with yellow roses in my hands

I noticed that Toni McConnel said the following, Nobody seems to comment on the amazing gifted musicianship of every member of that ensemble, this is not so, others and I have, I would be very happy to have any one or all of those brilliant outstanding amazing musicians in my band, I would allow them to get up on stage with and play our best stuff and I would not charge them a single penny for this

The great Van Morrison , Astral weeks is playing in my car music system at the moment, and this comes up on utube So it stops me and I just listen ,he is so good, what makes me wonder is that my g grandfather John Morrison was born in Roscommon in 1856

He still sounds as great as ever!

Love so much. They told me I couldn’t sing. I made so may ballet teacher shoes. I’m a cobbler

Oh yea spread your wings so great nothing better than thi🎢🛎

Thanks for sharing with us. Van is such a magician. And his magic has me entranced. Like taking acid. So sweet.
Peace.

College in the early 80's... this dude and a bowl of "not cereal" helped me to flourish 😁

Van's music is so transcendental. He gets better and better with age, as if that ever seemed possible. He even seems much more relaxed and present with the music than ever.

Oh VAN, my man...
If you can
Play it again...
Love from Germany

Madre mía, qué maravilla!!!!!!!!

Geeeee... it in G in my mouth harpo. It's just breathing in and out....

Maravillosa!

Van seems to get better as he ages.

I was there, just fabulous.

Is he singing 'Rabbit gets ya, rabbit gets ya'? @6:20

Jay Berliner from the original album!? Yup.

Hey Stockholm
Nobel Dymamite Team ....
it's time to look at wonderful poets .....
dynamiting the soals of people ... to love each other!

The mans a god

Wondering what he finds so funny about the words 'Step right up'…

classical guitar player played what van was about to play and stepped on up!

@James Gray That might be it. I was thinking it was maybe an 'in' joke.

Still wonderful

He always said his music was channelled and even if he didn't I am saying it! It lifts you when the world is pIssing on you!

Van the man !

It must have been a blue moon to find Van in such a good mood.

he seems to be happy a lot now. I saw him in Hershey, PA a couple of years ago and he was laughing, dancing, joking .....really enjoying himself. First time I had ever seen him like that and I can't even remember how many times I have seen him since 1970....Happy to see him so Happy!!!

Beautiful lyrics,love it!!!

on a scale from 0 to 10 this performance is 1000

Oh yeah -the man is still Van the Man. Talks like an Irish harbor worker and sing and play like a male angel. Together with some of his brethren.

Did this happen to anyone else watching this video - less than a minute into this video, it stopped. A box came up on the bottom of the screen that read, video stopped. Continue watching? YES had to be hit and the video resumed.
"........ continue watching?" WTF do YOU THINK?!! First off, you look to see WHY the video stopped in the first place. Then you're presented with a major asshole question.
DUH, YEAH. I want to keep watching THIS VIDEO. Thaz why I'm listening to it!!
The past two weeks I made a couple of new playlists. While browsing through music on YouTube I see a major tune I built the different playlists on, underneath it reads MY MIX - as if THAT MIX was put together by YOUTUBE. NO. YouTube took my playlist(s) and posted them under MY MIX - MY playlist was named BILLY PRESTON. Now, we all know how WE configure our playlists, YouTube doesn't know how an individual does their playlists. At one time I was reading nasty comments regarding one of my playlists - a playlist of mine YOUTUBE decided to upload for the public. Written on my channels for those who were and are nice enough to subscribe to one or both of them is, "PLAYLIST TITLES ARE NO INDICATION OF CONTENT."
So YouTube uploads a playlist of mine titled, BLACK MOVIES, BANNED CARTOONS, the title also included the name of a well known Frenchman known for making black movies around and/or during the silent movie era. There were a few, albeit very few black banned cartoons and black movies by GEORGES
?, (forgive my embarrassing memory). Black people who went into that uploaded playlist were shocked and insulted and let me know in comments - not only did I NOT upload that playlist, YouTube never informed me about their uploading MY PLAYLIST and I'm thinking, "wtf?"!!
YouTube guys, you should let me know if you are going to confiscate my playlists to upload.
PLAYLIST TITLE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF CONTENT!

Este e bom demais, tenho uns trinta discos dele, cada um melhor do que o outro.

all i need is bob dylan s love

What words can I say about this man my 1st Celtic cousin the very great Van The Man Morrisons, the messenger, the healer, the man that only given great hope, understanding and great joy to all. I can not find the correct words, the right words, the proper words so I give up and leave this to far more intelligent people them I to find the most suitable words that should be said in honor of this very great man.

Ballerina is my favorite. Mesmerizing, haunting, pure Van gold.

cant express...overwhelmingly heart swwwinging..this is a band. of top muscians. close knit. inter weaving

He is just brilliant.this is from an a east Belfast man

hear that guitar start and drift to another world....thank you Van

Fuckin right. Didn't miss a note. Still got it.

I first saw Van in 1967 when he performed as part of Them at my High School (Cartesius Lyceum) social. I have been a fan ever since. This paticular album and this particular song with that very special violin solo, is in my absolute favourite. Thanks Van

ce mec est génial, curieusement on ne le médiatise pas autant qu'il le mérite... cherchez l'erreur !

Guilty, Toni. Thanks for "calling me out as tagged correctly."

Dam! This is some awesome show. Thanks Van.

Reading the comments under a Van performance is like the the sauce accompanying a fine dish.

I love this song.an i love van Morrison

Bellissima canzone.

Myfav version of ballerina

Listen to this musical talent. There is nothing in today's age that comes close to touching it.

As a good wine , time brings new sensations from a well done work .

hey this is america step up to trump
xoxox

Bella ! Sweet ballerina ...

Van has stood the test of time. Long after he's gone people will still be enjoying these wonderful works.
His music is pure, original, and a gift we should all be grateful to have. This song in particular is beyond amazing.

Yo Paulie, I didn’t know you could sing like that

Muy guapo....Si Señor

Who the fuck is "disliking" this video?

Oh, I love this song!🥰✌️

Magic :-) I'm rediscovering him after many years. Plenty of t\his CDs on eBay as well.

Van is a master of the English language on a level reserved for guys like Shakespeare and George Carlin and Mark Twain. He ages like the bottles of port he loves so dearly.

Astral Weeks just gets better and better the older you get. 😎

I can't help but weep with sweet memories Van's music brings alive again and again... an explosion of emotions flow into the universe today! Thank you for your music that brings hope as I keep pushing on...

The secret is : He is only playing for himself, he needs no audience, only excellent musicians.....

If you just feel like you just cant go on....step right up and listen .

Brilliant. The musical talent harnessed together by Van is awesome.

Adore this man since 1970. Astral Weeks......I was knee high to a grasshopper at 17.....

"Ballerina"
Spread your wings
Come on fly awhile
Straight to my arms
Little angel child
You know you only
Lonely twenty-two story block
And if somebody, not just anybody
Wanted to get close to you
For instance, me, baby
All you gotta do
Is ring a bell
Step right up, step right up
And step right up
Ballerina
Crowd will catch you
Fly it, sigh it, try it
Well, I may be wrong
But something deep in my heart tells me I'm right and I don't think so
You know I saw the writing on the wall
When you came up to me
Child, you were heading for a fall
But if it gets to you
And you feel like you just can't go on
All you gotta do
Is ring a bell
Step right up, and step right up
And step right up
Just like a ballerina
Stepping lightly
Alright, well it's getting late
Yes it is, yes it is
And this time I forget to slip into your slumber
The light is on the left side of your head
And I'm standing in your doorway
And I'm mumbling and I can't remember the last thing that ran through my head
Here come the man and he say, he say the show must go on
So all you gotta do
Is ring the bell
And step right up, and step right up
And step right up
Just like a ballerina, yeah, yeah
Crowd will catch you
Fly it, sight it, c'mon, die it, yeah
Just like a ballerina
Just like a just like a just like a ballerina
Get on up, get on up, keep a-moving on, little bit higher, baby
You know, you know, you know, get up baby
Alright, a-keep on, a-keep on, a-keep on, a-keep on pushing
Stepping lightly
Just like a ballerina
Ooo-we baby, take off your shoes
Working on
Just like a ballerina

I had the very good fortune to be at both nights of this show. Utterly transporting, mystical, mysteriously engaging. The Hollywood Bowl simultaneously shrank and expanded, and there was no time.

God ... Please keep blessing Van the man ...

Hay una canción de este hombre con la que cierran los pub en Irlanda . Si alguien me lo pudiera decir se lo agladeceria .

I love you Van Morrison!!!.....fabulous!

The man is a force of nature. Wonderful music. Love that standup bass.

what a talent

This is on a Double CD on amazon called It's To Late To Stop Now.. Awesome Jelly Roll

Pure bliss of Celtic soul and medieval balladeering, straight from one of the greatest albums ever almost ignored in his time.

en mi corazon

cerca de mi corazon

For those that can’t understand:
pread your wings
Come on fly awhile
Straight to my arms
Little angel child
You know you only
Lonely twenty-two story block
And if somebody, not just anybody
Wanted to get close to you
For instance, me, baby
All you gotta do
Is ring a bell
Step right up, step right up
And step right up
Ballerina
Crowd will catch you
Fly it, sigh it, try it
Well, I may be wrong
But something deep in my heart tells me I'm right and I don't think so
You know I saw the writing on the wall
When you came up to me
Child, you were heading for a fall
But if it gets to you
And you feel like you just can't go on
All you gotta do
Is ring a bell
Step right up, and step right up
And step right up
Just like a ballerina
Stepping lightly
Alright, well it's getting late
Yes it is, yes it is
And this time I forget to slip into your slumber

And I'm standing in your doorway

Here come a man, here come a man and he say, he say the show must go on
So all you gotta do

Just like a ballerina
Just like a, just like a, just like a, just like a ballerina
Get on up, get on up, keep a-moving, moving on, moving on, moving on up
Little bit higher, baby
You know, you know, you know, get on up baby
Alright, a-keep on, a-keep on, a-keep on pushing, keep on, keep on pushing
Stepping lightly
Just like a ballerina
Ooo-we baby, take off your shoes
Working on
