lyrics

Now I need to think things over
Now you're getting close to me
If I could lie, I'd try to do it
Just believe in me
Things like this are never easy
And we danced in perfect time
And now the waltz is over
Are you still a friend of mine?

And if you call to me I'll be there
And if you're ever feeling low
And if you're stuck with some old problem
Then I'll try to make it go
And I hope you'll understand this thing
It's the words I can't get right
Now the waltz is over
I'll just have to say goodnight

And if you're wondering why I'm leaving
And if you think there's someone else
Ah, there's nothing like that going on
I'm leaving with myself
And I wish there was something I could do
To make you laugh instead of cry
But now the waltz is over
And all that’s left to say goodbye

And now the waltz is over
And the music man is gone
The dance floor now is empty
And I'm standing here alone

And now the waltz is over
Are you still a friend of mine?
