TATEH
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?

Your Mameh would tell you:
"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,
Silver skates
Just down the track
Glide with me, little one
Glide with your Tateh
We'll never
Look back!

CONDUCTOR

TATEH

CONDUCTOR

TATEH

CONDUCTOR

for something without a name

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!

TATEH
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!
