Deep in your eyes I see
you saved this waltz for me;
Still there's a tear drop starting,
for this last dance means parting:

Dear, while we're swaying
they're playing "The Midnight Waltz"
Dear, I've been praying you'd stay for
"The Midnight Waltz"
Dance tho' we end this romance
when the melody halts;
Smile, while we sigh a "goodbye"
to "The Midnight Waltz"

Dear, while we're swaying
they're playing "The Midnight Waltz"
Dear, I've been praying you'd stay for
"The Midnight Waltz"
Dance tho' we end this romance
when the melody halts;
Smile, while we sigh a "goodbye"
to "The Midnight Waltz"

Dear, in the grey of dawn
I'll find my love dreams gone;
Twilight will find me yearning
Midnight means dreams returning:

Dear, while we're swaying
they're playing "The Midnight Waltz"
Dear, I've been praying you'd stay for
"The Midnight Waltz"
Dance tho' we end this romance
when the melody halts;
Smile, while we sigh a "goodbye"
to "The Midnight Waltz"

Dear, while we're swaying
they're playing "The Midnight Waltz"
Dear, I've been praying you'd stay for
"The Midnight Waltz"
Dance tho' we end this romance
when the melody halts;
Smile, while we sigh a "goodbye"
to "The Midnight Waltz"
