The Annual Waltz

     D
The night is so cold and life is so old
                               G    D
And the wind is now heavy with day dreams
      A
And I hold your hand to the music
                            G    D
And we think of the days of our youth


Every year at this time, our feet feel so inclined
                               G    D
And we hear those old musical memories
     A
We slip thru this dance
                                 G           D
Like the first time we started falling in love

[Chorus]
   D  A  D            G    D    A
This we do, and I am still with you
         D
And the heart beat still calls

For the annual waltz
          G                A          D
It is our theme song for falling in love

[Fiddle Solo]
       D
Oh I laughed at you, you laughed at me
                                    G    D
While our  grandchildrens'children have babies
          A
Way off in the future, we are long gone
                   G            D
And someone still mentions our names

      D
Old pictures, in books, small shady nooks
                             G   D
Where our descendants learn all about us
         A
And the dancing goes on to the fiddle
                        G       D
As they still play the Annual Waltz

[Fiddle Solo]
[Chorus]
This we do, and I am still with you.
