A Waltz

Oh, it's waltz in the key of C;

This tune's all yours, as you know, not for me;

And the waltz with each passing bar;

Seems to take me farther from where you are;

Maybe it's a funny thing how the melody sounds;

Of a love that is ending;

And so I'm singing out loud;

It's a waltz, one, two, three;

So how can it be that it has to be not for me?

It's a waltz and I'm hearing it now;

The bells of St. Paul's sounding a wall;

And I know that it's all that

I'll have of you;

And the orchestra stalls are all playing the same tune;

Maybe it's a funny thing;

How the melody sounds of a love that is ending;

And so I'm singing out loud;

It's a waltz in the key of C;

This tune's all yours as you know not for me;

And the waltz with each passing bar;

Seems to take me farther from where you are;
