The Old Marriage Waltz
the old marriage waltz
alone but together ... in silence and tension ...
they talk without words ... they can't bear to mention ...
their feelings are bitter ... they just hear the wind ...
their hopes lie in ashes ... but they still pretend ...
she sits by the window ... she looks out the door ...
he watches her hopelessly ... knowing the score ...
where are they going ... and how will it end ...
can their love survive ... will it break ... will it bend ...
the old marriage waltz ... lasts through the heartaches ...
just dance very close ... and let no-one cut in ...
the old marriage waltz ... as we move to the music ...
just give love and get love ... again and again ...
he sits there alone now ... with ghosts of the past ...
while a new love begins ... is it real ... will it last ...
she puts on her feathers ... she goes out the door ...
she walks in the nightclub ... the band starts once more ...
the old marriage waltz ... it lasts through the heartaches ...
just dance very close ... and let no-one cut in ...
the old marriage waltz ... as we move to the music ...
just give love and get love ... again and again ...
nothing feels right when love's going wrong ...
time passes by ... the years have been kinder ...
she now looks into soft eyes ... a gentle reminder ...
her new love was true love ... her dreams were reborn ...
if he finds the key ... his heart too will be warm ...
the old marriage waltz ...
the old marriage waltz ... lasts through the heartaches ...
the old marriage waltz ...
