Story behind the song
This is one I wrote a while back that we used to get a lot of request for. People really liked dancing to it.
Lyrics
Waltzes and Love Songs
Words and Music by Charles Kirkland
V1
There were tears in her eyes
The first night we met
Nothing I could do
Seemed to make her forget
A love gone bad
A life torn apart
Until the band played a love song
And I waltzed into her heart
V2
The lights were down low
With her hand in mine
I lead her to the dance floor
In three quarter time
Beneath the neon light
I saw a smile on her face
The tears in her eyes
A sparkle had replaced
Chorus (¾ Time)
Waltzes and love songs
Are the best remedy
For those broken heart ladies
In need of company
So if the times will abide you
Or the chances arise
Have the band play a slow waltz
And wipe the tears from her eyes
V3
When the song was over
I stood there amazed
I could see the difference
One simple dance had made
Her troubles seemed to leave her
Like nothing was ever wrong
That just goes to show you
The power of a song
V4
She sat down at my table
And we talked the night away
We got up and danced
To every love song that was played
Before the night was over
Right around last call
I tipped the band a twenty
So they'ed play one last waltz
Chorus (¾ Time)
Waltzes and love songs
Are the best remedy
For those broken heart ladies
In need of company
So if the times will abide you
Or the chances arise
Have the band play a slow waltz
And wipe the tears from her eyes
Tag
With her head on my shoulder
I wiped the tears from her eyes
