Like An Old Fashioned Waltz (live with Fairport Convention at the LA Troubadour, February 1974)
Roses are red and violets are blue Primroses pale on a velvet green hue Warm summer days by cool waterfalls Like the music we hear Those things we'll always hold dear Like an old fashioned waltz
When the moonlight shines down On the Hollywood world And the heroine waits for her beau to return And violins play from behind garden walls How I'd love to remain with the silver refrain Of an old fashioned waltz
As they dance round the floor And there's no one else there And the world is no more and there's never a care By the perfect lagoon where the nightingale calls With only the moon and the nostalgic tune Of an old fashioned waltz
Roses are red and violets are blue Primroses pale on a velvet green hue Warm summer days by cool waterfalls Like the music we hear Those things we'll always hold dear Like an old fashioned waltz
