The band it was playing the star spangled waltz
The lights in the ballroom were low
Oh, 'twas sweet to my ears, I fought back my tears
For that waltz broke my heart long ago
My sweetheart grew jealous as I danced with a friend
And said that my love had grown false
Then she told me goodbye 'neath that old Southern sky
As we danced to the star spangled waltz
Then a face caught my eye as the dancers passed by
'Twas my sweetheart who left me to pine
As she whispered my name, I could see oh-so plain
That her heart it was broken like mine
Love had won it's last fight as I kissed her that night
As I did in the days long ago
We had found new romance, though we cried as we danced
To the beautiful star spangled waltz
