The dancehall floor was mostly empty A steady rain kept folks away And the band kept playing waltzes Like it was all they could play Just one turn around the dance floor Made it all worth the cost Flooded by the kind of feelings That come from dancing to a waltz I was in with both feet She still rode the fence I was what she said she needed And we'd been off and on again Till finally later on that evening Under streetlamp and raindrops She kissed me with all the feelings That come from dancing to a waltz For the waltz is the world's most romantic dance For those deep in love and those wanting the chance There's things in life that you can't change friend Like when it rains or who you love You can dance around pretending But sometimes that's not enough So love-sick neighbor won't you listen Hear your brother as he talks Pay the band when she ain't looking To make every song a waltz. For the waltz is the world's most romantic dance For those deep in love and those wanting the chance.
