Lyrics
Play a melody mellow
When lovers waltz
Heart to heart whispers “hello”
When lovers waltz
Life’s a jolly good fellow
Free from all cares and faults
Dear ones are dearest, heaven is nearest
When lovers waltz
Come then, dear, waltz with me
Nestle close to my heart
Leave a sweet memory
For my dreams when we part
Promise me faithfully
You will never be false
Let me find a joy forever
In this sweet lovers waltz
All is moonlight and flowers
When lovers waltz
Music has magic powers
When lovers waltz
Joys of love’s blissful hours
Hidden in mem’ry’s vaults
Leave us a treasure of priceless pleasure
When lovers waltz
