Belle of the Ball

(Harlan Howard - Buck Owens)



Darling, oh darling, where are you tonight

Don't you even miss me at all

You once danced with me and whispered tenderly

That I was the belle of the ball.



The belle of the ball now stands by the wall

You told me you love me and then let me fall

But my heart will yearn until you return

And call me the belle of the ball.



--- Instrumental ---



Young lovers dance by me with stars in their eyes

As soft music flows through the hall

I'll keep watching the door till you come back once more

Then I'll be the belle of the ball.



The belle of the ball now stands by the wall

You told me you love me and then let me fall

But my heart will yearn until you return

And call me the belle of the ball.



Then I'll be the belle of the ball...
