[Verse 1]
Oh, play me a blues song and fade down the lights
I'm as sad as a proud man can be sad tonight
Just let me dream on, just let me sway
While the sweet violins and the saxophones play

[Pre-Chorus]
Miss, you don't know me, but can't we pretend
That we care for each other till the band reach the end?

[Chorus]
One step's for aching, two steps for breaking
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
One step's for sighing, two steps for crying
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love

[Verse 2]
Now they say love's for gamblers, though the pendulum swings
I bet hard on love and I lost everything
So don't send me home now, put a shot in my arm
And we'll drink on old memories and we'll drink into dawn

[Pre-Chorus]
Mr. Bandleader, won't you play one more time?
For I've got folding money in this pocket of mine
[Chorus]
One step's for aching, two steps for breaking
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
One step's for sighing, two steps for crying
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Miss, you don't know me, but can't we pretend
That we care for each other till the band reach the end?

[Chorus]
One step's for aching, two steps for breaking
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
One step's for sighing, two steps for crying
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
