Waltzings for Dreamers

Oh play me a blues song and fade down the light*

I'm sad as a proud man can be sad tonight

Just let me dream on, oh just let me sway

While the sweet violins and the saxophones play

And Miss, you don't know me, but can't we pretend

That we care for each other, till the band reach the end

[Chorus:]

One step for aching

Two steps for breaking

Waltzing's for dreamers

And losers in love

One step for sighing and

Two steps for crying

Waltzing's for dreamers

And losers in love

They say love's for gamblers, the pendulum swings

I bet hard on love and I lost everything

So don't send me home now, put a shot in my arm

And we'll drink out old memories and we'll drink in the dawn

And Mr. Bandleader, won't you play one more time

For I've good folding money in this pocket of mine

[Repeat Chorus:]

And Miss, you don't know me, but can't we pretend

That we care for each other, till the band reach the end

[Repeat Chorus:]
