Lonesome Waltz

(Eddie Pleasant)



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 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 and dance

This lonesome waltz for me.



--- Instrumental ---



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...
