I was dancing with my darlin' To the Tennessee Waltz When an old friend I happened to see I introduced him to my darling And while they were dancing My friend stole my sweetheart from me I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz 'Cause I know just how much I have lost Yes I lost my little darlin' The night they were playing The beautiful Tennessee Waltz I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz 'Cause I know just how much I have lost Yes I lost my little darlin' The night they were playing The beautiful Tennessee Waltz She comes dancing through the darkness To the Tennessee Waltz And I feel like I'm falling apart And it's stronger than drink And it's deeper than sorrow This darkness she's left in my heart I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz 'Cause I know just how much I have lost Yes I lost my little darlin' The night they were playing The beautiful Tennessee Waltz Beautiful Tennessee Waltz
