Jim Reeves 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 as used to be
Please come back and dance this lonesome waltz for me


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
