Hank Snow - Star Spangled Waltz Lyrics

by Hank Snow



The band it was playing the Star Spangled Waltz,

The lights in the ball-room were low.

Oh 'twas sweet to my ears, I fought back my tears

For that waltz broke my heart long ago.

My sweetheart grew jealous as I danced with a friend,

And said that my love had grown false.

Then she told me goodbye 'neath that old southern sky

As we danced to the Star Spangled Waltz.



Then a face caught my eye as the dancers passed by

It was my sweetheart who left me to pine.

As she whispered my name I cuold see, oh so plain

That her heart, it was broken like mine.

Love had one it's last fight as I kissed her that night

As I did in the days long ago.

We had found new romance though we cried as we danced

To the beautiful Star Spangled Waltz.
