Capo 3

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


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

  D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD      G+G  D MajorD  A augmentedA
This we do, and I am still with you
     D MajorD
And the heart beat still calls

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

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

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

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