Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- The orchestra’s playing the goodnight waltz
It’s a soulful melody
But somehow or other, the goodnight waltz
Doesn’t mean a thing to me
Refrain:
When the rest of the crowd goes home
I always go home alone
Oh, that kiss on the way back home
That’s something I’ve never known
I envy the others who have love affairs
Who go out in couples and come home in pairs
When the rest of the crowd goes home
I always go home alone
- The life of the party when lights are bright
I am never lonely then
But after the party, they say goodnight
Then the blues come back again
