Gliding

Ssshhh. Dont' cry. Don't be afraid. I'm here
We're together. Ssshh. Look! Ssshhh. Look what I've
Made for you.

See the silhouettes
It's a little book of silhouettes
When you flip the pages, they move
Look how nice!
This is you on skates
Turning pretty figure-eights
On the smooth, cool ice...

We are gliding
Gliding on a pond
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
We are gliding
Gliding far beyond
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Feel the wind
As you pirouette
Are you happy yet?
Are you happy yet?

"Imagine your fearless
Imagine your fearless
And soon, you won't fear! "
When I am afraid
I imagine your Mameh
She skates just ahead
Can you see her?
She's here!
And we're...
Gliding
Gliding far away
Pirouettes
Figure-eights...
Just down the track
Glide with me, little one
Glide with your Tateh
We'll never
Look back!

My kid would like that. How much?
It's not for... A dollar?
It's a deal. What do you call it?
I...
It's gotta have a name. I'm not paying this much
For something without a name
They move, I call them... Movie... Books!

Your father is a smart man! With this money, we'll get
A cleam bed and a hot bath, and tomorrow we wil make
More of these and we will sell them for two dollars.
Tateh's movie books! Everyone will want them. They just
Don't know that yet!

We are
Gliding
Gliding far away
Pirouettes
Figure-eights
Silver skates
Just down the track!
Glide with me, little one
Glide with your Tateh
We'll never
Look back!
