Anniversary Waltz
Hank Thompson · Other Songs - Hank Thompson
Tonight when the lights were low
One dance led up to another
And now, I can't let you go
So tell me, I may always dance
The anniversary waltz with you
Tell me this is real romance
An anniversary dream come true
Let this be the answer to our future years
Through millions of smiles and a few little tears
May I always listen to the anniversary waltz
With you
Let this be the answer to our future years
Through millions of smiles and a few little tears
May I always listen to the anniversary waltz
With you
