the waltz
Strike up the band let it play
Love songs to haunt me and I will stay
But when it comes to a waltz
Both words and music will ring false
For you waltzed in
And spun my world
Around in dizzy dance
I swirled
But suddenly
You waltzed away from me
Those violins, they must go
So no careless hand with a bow
May play on the strings of my heart
And make me remember how lovers part
How you waltzed in
And spun my world
Around in dizzy dance
I swirled
But suddenly
You waltzed away from me
Strike up the band let it play
Whatever it chooses and I will say
Play me a waltz if you will
I'll sit here and listen waiting until
My love returns
To take my world
And spin it 'round
In dizzy swirl
Where girl loves boy
And boy loves girl
And feet don't touch the ground
