The ballroom was empty
When they played 'The last waltz'
For my darling and me
My poor heart kept wishing
The night could not end
But she love another
And I'm just her friend
I love her, I love her
My lonely heart cries
But soon she'll become
Another man's bride
She told me next Sunday
Was her wedding day
I gave my best wishes
Oh, what more could I say?
That night will be cherished
In my memory
When they'll play 'The last waltz'
For my darling and me
I love her, I love her
