Like an Old Fashioned Waltz Songtext
von Emmylou Harris

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 '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
