Star Spangled Waltz
Hank Snow by Hank Snow The band it was playing the Star Spangled Waltz, The lights in the ball Oh 'twas sweet to my ears, I fought back my tears For that waltz broke my heart long ago. My sweetheart grew jealous as I danced with a friend, And said that my love had grown false. Then she told me goodbye 'neath that old southern sky As we danced to the Star Spangled Waltz. Then a face caught my eye as the dancers passed by It was my sweetheart who left me to pine. That her heart, it was broken like mine. As she whispered my name I cuold see, oh so plain Love had one it's last fight as I kissed her that night As I did in the days long ago. We had found new romance though we cried as we danced To the beautiful Star Spangled Waltz. |
