Lyrics
Lonesome Waltz
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When a record starts to spinnin' and love words make a song
I think of a million sweethearts but only one I could own
Today your life is music and famous they say you'll be
Darling sometimes write a lonesome waltz for me
Put in some pretty love words as fresh as the summer rain
I'll punish plenty teardrops and pretend you're mine again
And if some day you'll find you're just a used to be
Please come back and dance this lonesome waltz for me
[ piano ]
When a story's told and music for millions to hear its cry
There's always someone lonesome who'll hang their head and cry
A waltz's so soft and touching a love's so cold and lost
Darling please for old time sake let's dance the lonesome waltz
