From Dancing To a Waltz

The dancehall floor was mostly empty
A steady rain kept folks away
And the band kept playing waltzes
Like it was all they could play

Just one turn around the dance floor
Made it all worth the cost
Flooded by the kind of feelings
That come from dancing to a waltz

I was in with both feet
She still rode the fence
I was what she said she needed
And we'd been off and on again

Till finally later on that evening
Under streetlamp and raindrops
She kissed me with all the feelings
That come from dancing to a waltz

For the waltz is the world's most romantic dance
For those deep in love and those wanting the chance

There's things in life that you can't change friend
Like when it rains or who you love
You can dance around pretending
But sometimes that's not enough

So love-sick neighbor won't you listen
Hear your brother as he talks
Pay the band when she ain't looking
To make every song a waltz.

For the waltz is the world's most romantic dance
For those deep in love and those wanting the chance.
