Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Hold me tightly, swing me lightly
To that naughty waltz
So entrancing, seems like dancing
In the moonlight on a June night
How it thrills me, how it fills me
With it’s mellow charms
You know dearest, Heaven’s nearest
When I’m in your arms
Refrain
Oh play again that naughty waltz
And play it soft and low
Oh say again, “I love you, dear”
The sweetest words I know
Oh please repeat your promise sweet
That you will ne’er be false
And take me in your arms again
And waltz and waltz and waltz
- To be ever thus together
Is my fondest dream
Skies are brightened, sorrows lightened
While they’re playing and we’re swaying
But the gladness turns to sadness
When the music halts
So, my dearie, let’s be cheery
While they play that waltz
