I pushed him away
And carefully said
I'm just not that kind of girl

You might think I'm square
'Cause you've been around and you're wise
In the ways of the world

I know that making is taking for granted
It's all easy come, easy go
He pulled me close and whispered
Now darlin' there's something I want you to know

I still believe in Waltzes
And girls with old fashioned ways
I still believe in love songs
In the good, in the good ole days

I've always liked happy endings
Somebody's dream coming true
I still believe in Waltzes
And dancing the last one with you

He slipped into bed, I turned over and said
I'm worried you working so late
Is it just your job that keeps you away, Lord
I know the temptations are gray

I'm just a wife, I'm just a momma
It's not too exciting I know
He pulled me close and whispered those same words
He told me that night long ago

I still believe in Waltzes
And girls with old fashioned ways
I still believe in love songs
In the good, in the good ole days

I've always liked happy endings
Somebody's dream coming true
I still believe in Waltzes
And I'll dance the last one with you

We still believe in Waltzes
