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 will be
Darlin' sometimes write, a lonesome waltz for me
Put in some purdy love words, as fresh as the summer rain
I'll furnish 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 'n dance, this lonesome waltz for me
Break
When a story's told in 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
Darlin' please for ol' time sake, let's dance the lonesome waltz
