Kentucky Waltz
Emmylou Harris · Singin' With Emmylou, Vol. 2 [2003]
(Emmylou Harris, Bill Monroe)
Emmylou Harris & Bill Monrow
We were waltzing that night in Kentucky
Beneath the beautiful harvest moon
And I was the boy who was lucky
But it all ended too soon.
As I sit here alone in the moonlight
Oh I can see your smiling face
And I long once more for your embrace
In that beautiful Kentucky waltz.
--- Instrumental ---
And I long once more for your embrace
In that beautiful Kentucky waltz.
--- Instrumental to fade ---
