about

Originally from the Lands & Peoples sessions,
Honestly? Cinematic in scope; I think this might be one of the most beautiful pieces of music & lyrics I've ever written. Ms. Rose's upright piano sound lifts the soul...

lyrics

~ GHOST WALTZ ~
WORDS/MUSIC: BILL MALLONEE c. 2012 BMI

WELL, THE LAMPS BURN LOW IN THE ROADHOUSE
& THE DANCERS THEY DRIFT OFF TWO AT A TIME
THERE'S A BLUE MOON ON THE SNOW & THE WIND IS MOANING LOW
YOU’D SWEAR YOU THINK SHE’S CRYIN’

I MAY HAVE COME HERE, COME HERE BY ACCIDENT
I MAY HAVE COME HERE, COME HERE BY DESIGN
COULD I TROUBLE YOU GIRL FOR ONE MORE TWIRL ON THAT DANCE FLOOR?
IF YOU’D BE SO KIND
CHORUS:
I WILL RAISE A GLASS TO YOU SWEETHEART
AND TO EVERYTHING WE EVER WON OR LOST
I WILL HOLD YOU CLOSE & STAMMER A TOAST
AND STEP TO THIS GHOST WALTZ

I HAVE SEEN MANY A GHOST ON THIS DANCE FLOOR
THEY'RE ALWAYS LOCKED IN EACH OTHERS EYES
& THEY WALTZ TO A TUNE...IN A STAR-LIT ROOM
TO HOLD BACK THE NIGHT
