Like An Old Fashioned Waltz lyrics
by Denny Sandy



(Sandy Denny)Roses are red, and violets are bluePrimroses pale on a velvet green hueWarm summer days by cool waterfallsLike the music we hearThose things we'll always hold dearLike an old fashioned waltzWhen the moonlight shines downOn the Hollywood worldAnd the heroine waits for her beau to returnAnd violins play from behind garden wallsHow I'd love to remain with the silver refrainOf an old fashioned waltzAs they dance round the floorAnd there's no-one else thereAnd the world is no more and there's never a careBy the perfect lagoon where the nightingale callsWith only the moon and the nostalgic tuneOf an old fashioned waltzRoses are red and violets are bluePrimroses pale on a velvet green hueWarm summer days by cool waterfallsLike the music we hearThose things we'll always hold dearLike an old fashioned waltzLike an old fashioned waltzAn old fashioned waltz
