-40Lover ’s Waltz You put your foot a little Pedal-steel and fiddle, fillin’ the floor. They’re dancin’ brim to brim, he’s holdin’ her to him, That’s what dancin’s for They’re a couple, Every dance is taken, They get so impatient when the band is breakin’ ’Cause they want to be dancin’ once more She holds him close and his heart feels so glad, She’s the best girlfriend a boy ever had. She thinks that he dances just like her dad And they’re dancin’ to The Lover’s Waltz. She fed the kids their supper Now she’s fixin’ up her hairdo just right. He put the kids to bed, Rememberin’ what she said, There’s dancin’ tonight. The telephone is from the babysitter Says she’s not a comin’, Mama made her quit ’cause She’s out too late dancin’ last night. So they’ll do their dancin’ on the back porch saloon Kissin’ and laughin’ by the light of the moon. All that they need is the time and the tune And they’re dancin’ to The Lover’s Waltz. -41Mom and Poppa hug They love to cut a rug when they get the chance. Papa’s gettin’ older He still loves to hold her close when they dance. They look so happy dancin’ elegantly As he holds her lightly and he leads her gently It’s been a life-long romance. He’s still in love with that young country girl She thinks that he’s the best man in the world She gives him a smile and he gives her a whirl And they’re dancin’ to The Lover’s Waltz. We’re dancin’ to The Lover’s Waltz. Copyright © 2000 HighsideMusic Songwriter, Steven Fromholz (ASCAP) ...
