| You have such a pretty face
|
| You favor a girl I once knew
|
| I imagine that she’s in Tennessee
|
| Lord, I should be there now too
|
| But I left Tennessee in a hurry, dear
|
| The same way that I’m leavin' you
|
| See, love is mostly memory
|
| For everyone but just a few
|
| It’s the brand new Tennessee Waltz
|
| You’re literally waltzing on air
|
| It’s the brand new Tennessee Waltz
|
| No telling who’s gon' be there
|
| When I leave, it’ll be like I found you, dear
|
| Descending Victorian stairs
|
| And I’m feeling like one of those photographs
|
| Not even you left to care
|
| Have all of your passionate fellows to play
|
| A tune for a Tennessee kid
|
| Who’s feeling like leaving another town
|
| With no place to go if he did
|
| It’s the brand new Tennessee Waltz
|
| You’re literally waltzing on air
|
| It’s the brand new Tennessee Waltz
|
| No telling who’s gon' be there
|
| It’s the brand new Tennessee Waltz
|
| No telling who’s gon' be there |
