Tennessee Waltz
Lost Love in the Tennessee Waltz Melody
Lyrics
I was dancin' with my darlin to the Tennessee Waltz
Dancing with my loved one to the Tennessee Waltz.
When an old friend I happened to see
Encountered an old friend unexpectedly.
I introduced him to my darlin' and while they were dancin'
Introduced my loved one to the friend, and during their dance,
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
The friend took away my beloved.
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Recalling the specific night of the Tennessee Waltz.
Now I know just how much I have lost
Realization of the extent of my loss.
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'
Expressing the loss of my dear one that night.
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Attributing the loss to the beauty of the dance, the Tennessee Waltz.
Now I wonder how a dance like the Tennessee Waltz
Pondering how a dance like the Tennessee Waltz could cause such heartbreak.
Could have broken my heart so complete
Expressing the depth of heartbreak caused by the dance.
Well I couldn't blame my darlin', and who could help fallin'
Refusing to blame my loved one and acknowledging the natural attraction.
In love with my darlin' so sweet
Recognizing the sweetness of my beloved.
Well it must be the fault of the Tennessee Waltz
Attributing the heartbreak to the dance itself.
Wish I'd known just how much it would cost
Wishing I had foreseen the emotional cost of the dance.
But I didn't see it comin', it's all over but the cryin'
Realizing the unexpectedness of the situation, with only tears remaining.
Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz
Blaming the emotional turmoil on the dance.
She goes dancin' with the darkness to the Tennessee Waltz
She now dances with darkness, likening it to the Tennessee Waltz.
And I feel like I'm falling apart
Feeling emotionally shattered.
And it's stronger than drink and it's deeper than sorrow
Describing the depth and strength of the pain.
This darkness she left in my heart
Emphasizing the lingering sorrow and emptiness.
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Recollection of the night and its impact on the loss.
Cause I know just how much I have lost
Understanding the magnitude of personal loss.
Yes I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'
Reiterating the loss of my beloved during that dance.
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Attributing the emotional turmoil again to the Tennessee Waltz.
