Let's dance while they are playing the Wednesday Night Waltz.

Let's join the couples swaying before the music halts.

Close to my heart I'll press you to prove my love is not false.

Sweetheart, let me caress you to the Wednesday Night Waltz.

 

I knew that you would love me, too, I saw it deep in your eyes.

Now I'm complete, you are so sweet, you're just a wonderful prize.

I love to hold you near and hear you say, " I love you, dear."

 

CHORUS:  [new words]

I love a tune so mellow the Wednesday Night Waltz.

And when I hear the cello, my very soul exalts.

With music so entrancing, I'll never find any faults.

     C           F#7    G       E7     A7        D7    G

Sweetheart, when we are dancing to the Wednesday Night Waltz.
