From Dancing to a Waltz

The dancehall floor was mostly empty

A steady rain kept folks away

And the band kept playing waltzes

Like it was all they could play

Just one turn around the dance floor

Made it all worth the cost

Flooded by the kind of feelings

That come from dancing to a waltz

I was in with both feet

She still rode the fence

I was what she said she needed

And we'd been off and on again

Till finally later on that evening

Under streetlamp and raindrops

She kissed me with all the feelings

That come from dancing to a waltz

For the waltz is the world's most romantic dance

For those deep in love and those wanting the chance

There's things in life that you can't change friend

Like when it rains or who you love

You can dance around pretending

But sometimes that's not enough

So love-sick neighbor won't you listen

Hear your brother as he talks

Pay the band when she ain't looking

To make every song a waltz.

For the waltz is the world's most romantic dance

For those deep in love and those wanting the chance.
