Jim Reeves Lonesome Waltz Lyrics

Lonesome Waltz Lyrics

When a record starts to spinnin' and love words make a song

I think of a million sweethearts but only one I could own

Today your life is music and famous they say you'll be

Darling sometimes write a lonesome waltz for me

Put in some pretty love words as fresh as the summer rain

I'll furnish many teardrops and pretend you're mine again

And if some day you'll find you're just a used to be

Please come back and dance this lonesome waltz for me

[ piano ]

When a story's told and music for millions to hear its cry

There's always someone lonesome who'll hang their head and cry

A waltz's so soft and touching a love's so cold and lost

Darling please for old time sake let's dance the lonesome waltz
