I was dancing
With my darling
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 darling
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 darling
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 darling
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
