Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
We were dancing so close in the low candlelight,
My best friend beside us on that Saturday night.
Then she smiled at my darling, and he smiled back at her,
And the band kept on playing that same sweet waltz for hours.
[chorus]
Oh that slow Southern waltz, how it turned my whole world,
Took away my sweetheart, gave him to my girl.
I still hear that fiddle every time I recall
The night I lost my darling at that Tennessee ball.
[verse]
Now I dance here alone in the corner of the floor,
Watching the couple that I can't watch anymore.
But the melody keeps playing, sweet and slow and true,
And somehow I still love that tune, though it broke my heart in two.
[chorus]
Oh that slow Southern waltz, how it turned my whole world,
Took away my sweetheart, gave him to my girl.
I still hear that fiddle every time I recall
The night I lost my darling at that Tennessee ball.
[bridge]
Maybe someday another arm will hold me near,
Maybe I'll dance again without this single tear.
But tonight the fiddle's calling, and I can't look away —
It's the song that changed my whole life on that one dancing day.
[chorus]
Oh that slow Southern waltz, how it turned my whole world,
Took away my sweetheart, gave him to my girl.
I still hear that fiddle every time I recall
The night I lost my darling at that Tennessee ball.
