Lyrics

A (Bm)waltz when she walks in the (D)room;

she (Bm)pulls back the hair from her (D)face.

She (Bm)turns to the win dow to (D)sway in the moon light; The (Em)e ven her shad ow has (A)grace.

A (Bm)waltz for the girl out of (D)reach.

She (Bm)lifts her hands up to the (D)sky.

She (Bm)moves with the mu sic; the (D)song is her lov er.

The (Em)mel o dy’s shad ow has (A)grace.

A mak ing her (Asus)cry.

So she danc es,

(Cmaj7)in and out of the crowd, (Gmaj7)like a glance.

This ro (G)mance is,

(Cmaj7)from a far, call ing me (Em7)si

lent

(Cmaj7)ly.

A (Bm)waltz for the chance I should (D)take;

but (Bm)how will I know where to (Em11)start?

She’s (Bm)spin ning be tween con stel (D)la tions and dreams;

her (Em)rhy thm is my beat ing (Asus)heart.

So she (Cmaj7)danc es,

(Fmaj7)in and out of the crowd, (Cmaj7)like a glance.

This (Dm7)ro (Cmaj7)mance is,

(Fmaj7)from a far, call ing me (Am7)si

lent

(G)ly.

I (Dm7)can’t keep on watch ing for (G)ev er;

I’d (Dm7)give up this view just to (G)tell her.

When I close my (C)eyes,

(G)I can see

the spot lights are (C)bright on (G)you and me.

We’ve got the floor,

and you’re in my arms.

How could I (D)ask

So she (G)ev er,

and I’m (Dm7)giv ing up this view just to (G)tell her.

(Cmaj7)Oh.
