Lyrics
Put It In Waltz Time
words and music by Noel Eskew
Put it in waltz time and play it just one time for me
Another one?s gone, and I?ll dance alone, can?t you see
That I need to hear it to bolster my spirits, take another glass off of the shelf
And fill it with whisky and give it to me. Better yet, let me pour it myself
And I?ll see who leaves me now that it?s time for a new one
I?ve loved me some men, too many, and now every one?s gone
And I love to hear a waltz and draw near to myself
?Cause I?m all that I?ve got
And waltz ?round the room and know that someday
I?ll live through it likely as not
And I?ll see who leaves me now that it?s time for a new one
I?ve loved me some men, too many, and now every one?s gone
And the whisky it glistens and I love to listen
To a three-quarter time memory
And dance a waltz in the corner of the hall
Just like they weren?t all lookin? at me.
So put it in waltz time and play it just one time for me
Another one?s gone, and I?ll dance alone, can?t you see
That I need to hear it to bolster my spirits, take another glass off of the shelf
And fill it with whisky and give it to me and I?ll dance this last waltz by myself
