Like An Old Fashioned Waltz — Emmylou Harris

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
