Story Behind The Song
My friends in St Louis at the Sheldon Concert Hall shared my vision for getting musical instruments to children who couldn?t afford them, so they embraced the charity I started, the ?Music for Life Alliance? and began collecting instruments to distribute

Lyrics
The St Louis Waltz Muriel Anderson
There's a place that I know that I'll always call home
And my brothers and sisters still live there
Though I must go away you know I wish I could stay
So I'll play you the Saint Louis Waltz
I can almost hear the symphony play,
starry nights at Sheldon Hall
And wherever I roam you know I'm never at home
?till I hear the Saint Louis Waltz
Some day I'll return for a little while,
someday I'll return to stay
And then I'll hold you in my arms
and we'll dance under the arch
To the lovely Saint Louis Waltz
