After The Waltz Is Over - Mel Torme, George Shearing

After the waltz is over

After the music ends

After I held you so close in my arms

We’ll be much more than friends

After the waltz is over

All conversation dies

What could our lips say

That we haven’t said with our eyes

I could waltz through life with you

We’ll make wedding bells chime

In three-quarter time

I don’t care if the party’s ending

Or if the clock’s striking one

I never dreamed when we danced at the start

One little waltz could go straight to my heart

After the waltz is over

We’ll find that love has begun

I don’t care if the party’s ending

Or if the clock’s striking one

I never dreamed when we danced at the start

One little waltz could go straight to my heart

Give me a little house and

Let me have you for my spouse and

Once we cadenza by Strauss and

Let me go waltzing through life
