Tennessee Waltz
He took her hand,
a gentleman of 84,
He asked her to dance,
overlooking the wheelchair,
that didn't seem to hold her any more,
She had asked for the Tennessee Waltz,
A smile in her voice,
Young hearts that still wanted romance,
Love is a timeless and ageless dance,
That can take a heart,
out of a wheelchair,
And have a gentleman ask,
as he touched her silver hair,
Do I have a chance?
Would you like to dance?
Love has made paupers kings,
Love has been the answer,
to the lonely hearts dreams,
Love has no written laws,
He asked her to dance
The Tennessee Waltz
They both lived through the era,
or heartache and pain,
wars and recession
Once they knew love,
that burned a name,
Across the stars,
Like a diamond possession.
that only a few ever find,
They are like the fine aged wine,
Young hearts that still wanted romance,
Love is a timeless and ageless dance,
