Lyrics
- Deep in your eyes I see
You saved this waltz for me
Still there’s a teardrop starting
For this last dance means parting
Chorus
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 gray of dawn
I’ll find my love-dreams gone
Twilight will find me yearning
Midnight means dreams returning
