Like An Old Fashioned Waltz Lyrics

(Sandy Denny)

Roses are red 
Violets are blue 
Primrose is pale 
On the velvet green hue 
Warm summer days 
Like cool water falls 
Like music we hear 
Those things we`ll always hold dear 
Like an old fashioned waltz 

When the moonlight shines down 
On the Hollywood world 
And the heroine waits 
For her love to return 
And the violins play 
>From behind garden walls 
Oh how I love to remain 
With the silver refrain 
Of an old fashioned waltz 

And they dance `round the floor 
And there`s no one else there 
In the world is no worry 
And is never a care 
By the perfect moon 
As the nightingale calls 
With only the moon 
And the nostalgic tune 
Of an old fashioned waltz
