Waltz of the Wind
Hank Locklin · Please Help Me I'm Falling [Bear Family] [1995]
You were there in my arms alone in the moonlight
The trees played the waltz of the wind
It was there that I knew I'll love you forever
We danced to the waltz of the wind.
The stars up above you looked down in your eyes
And told me this night would never end
Now I'm dreaming of you till we meet tomorrow
And dance to the waltz of the wind.
--- Instrumental ---
The stars up above you looked down in your eyes
And told me this night would never end
Now I'm dreaming of you till we meet tomorrow
And dance to the waltz of the wind...
