A sad little waltz keeps calling me back to a time too sweet to last
A sad little tune keeps on telling my heart that our time is fading past
These moments so precious are over too soon
A word may depress us and darken the moon
And all that is left is a sad little tune that trembles in the dawn
Singing loud, oh love, you're leaving
Love, you'll soon be gone
The sad little waltz keeps calling me back to the way things used to be
A melody says, don't bid me goodbye
After all you've been to me
The clock keeps on ticking, our romance away
The sunrise is licking the edge of the day
The sky of blue velvet is turning to grey
And still the tune goes on
Singing loud, oh love, don't leave me
After the stars are gone
