It's the end of the year and all the leaves are turning brown
A young girl watches dancers turning around
With tired legs and tired eyes she leaves the floor
And walks outside and into the forest
The moon is silver hanging in the trees
The floor's a mossy rug under her feet
The moonlight shows her she is not alone
Hello, she says, to the bear in the forest
The bear looks up and greets the little girl
He holds out a paw and says, the year is turning
The leaves will fall and I must soon to bed
But tonight there is still time for dancing
They danced every dance they knew
The leaves fell down, the woods were spinning
Da-di-dum-da
Just before the sun began to rise
The brown bear raised his head and sighed
Now it's time for sleeping
Must you go, bear? she said
Must you go, bear, to your winter bed?
Or can't we dance just one more?
The morning can wait its turn
The bear he said, we are from different worlds
You and I who dance so well together
I must go to my winter bed
The leaves are gone, the year is turning
We are from different worlds
You and I who dance so well together
We are from different worlds
You and I who dance so well together
We are from different worlds
You and I who dance so well together
We are from different worlds
You and I who dance so well together
