Lyrics

When (A)we dance to geth er, my (E7)world’s in the skies.

It’s a fai ry land tale that’s come (A)true,

(E7)and when (A)you look at me with those (E7)stars in your eyes, I could waltz a cross Tex as with (A)you.

(A)Waltz a cross Tex as with (E7)you in my arms,

waltz a cross Tex as with (A)you.

(E7)Like a (A)sto ry book end ing, I’m (E7)lost in your charms, and I could waltz a cross Tex as with (A)you.

with (A)your hand in mine, dear, I could (E7)dance on and on, and waltz a cross Tex as with (A)you.

(A)Waltz a cross Tex as with (E7)you in my arms,

waltz a cross Tex as with (A)you.

(E7)Like a (A)sto ry book end ing, I’m (E7)lost in your charms, and I could waltz a cross Tex as with (A)you.

(E7)My)

(A)Waltz a cross Tex as with (E7)you in my arms,

waltz a cross Tex as with (A)you.

(E7)Like a (A)sto ry book end ing, I’m (E7)lost in your charms, and I could waltz a cross Tex as with (A)you.
