[Verse]
Roses are red, violets are blue
Primrose is pale on the velvet green hue
Warm summer days like cool waterfalls
Like music we hear, those things we'll always hold dear
Like an old fashioned waltz

[Verse]
When the moonlight shines down on the Hollywood world
And the heroine waits for her love to return
And the violins play from behind garden walls
Oh, how I love to remain with the silver refrain
Of an old fashioned waltz

[Verse]
And they dance around the floor and there's no one else there
In the world is no worry and is never a care
And the perfect moon as the nightingale calls
With only you and the nostalgic tune
Of an old fashioned waltz
