|
Oh play me a blues song and fade down the light* |
|
I'm sad as a proud man can be sad tonight |
|
Just let me dream on, oh just let me sway |
|
While the sweet violins and the saxophones play |
|
And Miss, you don't know me, but can't we pretend |
|
That we care for each other, till the band reach the end |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
One step for aching |
|
Two steps for breaking |
|
Waltzing's for dreamers |
|
And losers in love |
|
One step for sighing and |
|
Two steps for crying |
|
Waltzing's for dreamers |
|
And losers in love |
|
They say love's for gamblers, the pendulum swings |
|
I bet hard on love and I lost everything |
|
So don't send me home now, put a shot in my arm |
|
And we'll drink out old memories and we'll drink in the dawn |
|
And Mr. Bandleader, won't you play one more time |
|
For I've good folding money in this pocket of mine |
|
[Repeat Chorus:] |
|
And Miss, you don't know me, but can't we pretend |
|
That we care for each other, till the band reach the end |
|
[Repeat Chorus:] |
