Lady Waltzing Alone
(Written By Steve Hopper)

In an old dance hall, on a Saturday night, we were playing the old songs they knew
When handed to me on a faded loose leaf a nearly forgotten old tune
Verse and rhyme in three quarter time a melody sweetened by age,
as we started to play , the crowd pulled away and across the floor she came

A lady waltzing alone a prisoner of time and a song,
Whirling and twirling in a world of her own
A lady waltzing alone

When first I had chance I had to ask and the story I'll never forget
about a young bride to be and a sailor on leave and a night a lot like this
Spell bound by their charms in each other’s arms intheir own little world they were lost
and together they swayed till the last song was played that beautiful ,timeless old waltz

Now she's the lady waltzing alone a prisoner of time and a song,
Whirling and twirling in a word of her own
A lady waltzing alone

She's been coming back here some forty odd years trying to relive that night long ago
In her heart she still yearns for her sailors return but in a way he does for one song
With the lady waltzing alone a prisoner of time and a song
Whirling and twirling in a world of her own
A lady waltzing alone
