Waltzing's for Dreamers
Waltzing through Heartbreak: A Melodic Tale of Love's Gamble
Lyrics
Oh play me a blue song
Expressing a desire for a melancholic or sad musical piece
And fade down the light
Dimming the lights, setting a mood
I'm sad as a proud man can be sad tonight
Feeling a deep sadness despite outward pride
Just let me dream on,
Requesting to be allowed to dream
Oh just let me sway
Asking to be swayed by the music
While the sweet violins
Immersing in the music of violins and saxophones
And the saxophones play
-And Miss, you don't know me,
Addressing someone unfamiliar
But can't we pretend
Suggesting a joint imagination or make-believe
That we care for each other,
Imagining care for each other until the music stops
Till the band reach the end
-One step for aching, and two steps for breaking
Describing the steps in waltzing, relating to heartache and love's challenges
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
-One step for sighing and two steps for crying
-Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
-Now they say love's for gamblers,
Comparing love to a gamble, expressing a loss
Oh the pendulum swings
-I bet hard on love and I lost everything
-So don't send me home now,
Preferably avoiding going home, seeking solace in memories and dawn
Put a shot in my arm
-And we'll drink out old memories
-And we'll drink in the dawn
-And Mr Bandleader won't you play one more time
Requesting the bandleader to play again, implying willingness to spend money
For I've good folding money in this pocket of mine
-Oh, one step for aching, two steps for breaking
Reiterating the steps in waltzing, associating it with dreamers and love's failures
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
-One step for sighing, and two steps for crying
-Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
-Oh Miss, you don't know me,
Repeating the desire for a shared pretense of caring until the music ends
But can't we pretend
-That we care for each other,
-Till the band reach the end
-Oh, one step for aching, two steps for breaking
Echoing the connection between waltzing, dreamers, and love's disappointments
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
-One step for sighing, two steps for crying
-Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
-Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
Reaffirming the theme that waltzing is for dreamers and those who lose in love
