It's been a long time Since I've had a good time And I think it's high time I did Could I have this dance It feels like romance And it's good to be feeling like this The lights are down low The band's playin' slow To The beautiful Tennessee Waltz How many love songs And how many dance floors Have lovers like us waltzed across Chorus 1: So waltz me to heaven tonight To the waltz of the angels we'll blissfully blind On past the milkyway to paradise Won't you waltz me to heaven tonight Chorus 2: Waltz me to heaven tonight Honky tonk angels in heavenly flight With the moon as our halo and the stars in our eyes Won't you waltz me to heaven to - night. Chorus 3: Waltz me to heaven tonight Hold your heavenly body against mine so tight As the band softly plays on this magical night We'll dance past the milkyway to paradise With the moon as our halo and the stars in our eyes Won't you waltz me to heaven tonight Won't you waltz me to heaven tonight
