The Waltz

Eivor Palsdottir


The band played waltzes
Request from a stranger
Who took my hand
Oh sweet surrender
Into his arms
I drifted away
But then I stood wanting
Come the light of the day

Ask me again
Lord of the dance
Hold me close
Be my romance
'Cause this very night
Is ours alone
So waltz me in
To the love that is known

Take me away
Sweet lord of dancing
Speak my name
As the evenings passing
I look in your eyes
There is nothing to say
So let's keep on dancing
Let the music play
