Hank Snow - Star Spangled Waltz lyrics

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 [ fiddle - steel ] Then a face caught my eye as the dancers pa**ed by It was my sweetheart who left me to pine As she whispered my name I cuold see oh so plain That her heart it was broken like mine Love had one 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
