Daddy's Last Waltz

The sun is gone down

The night breeze is blowin'

A white satin' gown

And her eyes are showin'

The last little girl

For one fleeting moment

The band singer calls

"Daddy's last waltz"

And their eyes go searchin'

To find one another

The tall cowboy whirlin'

Her beautiful mother

And all of the dancers

The friends and the lovers

Turn to see all

Of Daddy's last waltz

And twenty-five years

Of good times and hard

In three-quarter time

To fiddle and guitar

And all of the dancers

The friends and the lovers

Stand in awe

of Daddy's last waltz

And this song is over

Before it begins

She'll turn to another

Never again

To be one little girl

One rancher's daughter

He often recalls

Daddy's last waltz
