(Sandy Denny)
|
Roses are red
|
Violets are blue
|
Primrose is pale
|
On the velvet green hue
|
Warm summer days
|
Like cool water falls
|
Like music we hear
|
Those things we'll always hold dear
|
Like an old fashioned waltz
|
|
When the moonlight shines down
|
On the Hollywood world
|
And the heroine waits
|
For her love to return
|
And the violins play
|
From behind garden walls
|
Oh how I love to remain
|
With the silver refrain
|
Of an old fashioned waltz
|
|
And they dance 'round the floor
|
And there's no one else there
|
In the world is no worry
|
And is never a care
|
By the perfect moon
|
As the nightingale calls
|
With only the moon
|
And the nostalgic tune
|
Of an old fashioned waltz
|
|

Like An Old Fashioned Waltz
