Like an Old Fashioned Waltz lyrics

Roses are red, violets are blue

Primrose is pale on the velvet green hue

Warm summer days like cool waterfalls

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 around the floor and there's no one else there

In the world is no worry and is never a care

And the perfect moon as the nightingale calls

With only you and the nostalgic tune

Of an old fashioned waltz
