About Till I Waltz Again With You

"Till I Waltz Again with You" is a popular song written by Sid Prosen and published in 1952. Rather than a waltz, it is a slow AABA shuffle. The recording by Teresa Brewer took place on August 19, 1952, and was released by Coral Records as catalog number 60873. It first reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on December 6, 1952, and lasted 22 (7 weeks at #1) weeks on the chart, peaking at #1. The song also reached number one on the Cash Box chart for six weeks in 1953. In April 1953, during his senior year in high school, Elvis Presley sang the song in his high school's "Annual Minstrel" show. Presley recalled that the performance did much for his reputation: "I wasn't popular in school ... I failed music—only thing I ever failed. And then they entered me in this talent show ... when I came onstage I heard people kind of rumbling and whispering and so forth, 'cause nobody knew I even sang. It was amazing how popular I became after that."According to some sources, a record by Dick Todd reached #17, one by Russ Morgan reached #23, and one by The Harmonicats reached #26 on the charts, as well. Coral successfully marketed the song to the country audience. A version by South Carolinian Tommy Sosebea reached #7 on Billboard's most played by country disc jockeys survey.

Till I waltz again with you
Let no other hold your charms
If my dreams should all come true
You'll be waiting for my arms

Till I kiss you once again
Keep my love locked in your heart
Darling, I'll return and then
We will never have to part

Though it may break your heart and mine
The minute when it's time to go
Remember Dear, each word divine
That meant I love you so

Till I waltz again with you
Just the way we are tonight
I will keep my promise true
For you are my guiding light

Till I waltz again with you
Keep my love locked in your heart
Darling, I'll return and then
We will never have to part

Though it may break your heart and mine
The minute when it's time to go
Remember Dear, each word divine
That meant I love you so

Till I waltz again with you
Just the way we are tonight
I will keep my promise true
For you are my guiding light
My light, my light
I will keep my promise true
Till I waltz again with you
