Lyrics

  1. Hold me tightly, swing me lightly
    To that naughty waltz
    So entrancing, seems like dancing
    In the moonlight on a June night
    How it thrills me, how it fills me
    With it’s mellow charms
    You know dearest, Heaven’s nearest
    When I’m in your arms

Refrain
Oh play again that naughty waltz
And play it soft and low
Oh say again, “I love you, dear”
The sweetest words I know
Oh please repeat your promise sweet
That you will ne’er be false
And take me in your arms again
And waltz and waltz and waltz

  1. To be ever thus together
    Is my fondest dream
    Skies are brightened, sorrows lightened
    While they’re playing and we’re swaying
    But the gladness turns to sadness
    When the music halts
    So, my dearie, let’s be cheery
    While they play that waltz
