I was dancing with my darling to the Tennesse Waltz when an old friend I happened to see
duced her to my loved one and while they're dancing my friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night and the Tennesse Waltz Now I know just how much I have lost yes I lost my little darling the night they were playing the beautiful Tennesse Waltz
Oh, for just the chance to love you Would I love you, love you, love you To take you in my arms Has always been my goal Sure as there's a moon above you Would I love you, love you, love you With all my heart and soul With all my heart and soul
You ask me, would I love you if you let me Eyes that see are eyes that know Would I love you? What a question When I'm yearning so
Oh, for just the chance to love you Would I love you, love you, love you To take you in my arms Has always been my goal Sure as there's a moon above you Would I love you, love you, love you With all my heart and soul With all my heart and soul
I can't recall my mother I don't remember dad Mister and Mississippi was all I ever had Oh, I was born to wander I was born to roam And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home My cradle was the river My school a river boat My teacher was a gambler The slickest one afloat My teacher was a gambler The slickest one afloat He taught me not to gamble on a petticoat Oh, I was born to wander I was born to roam And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home Oh, darlin' how I love you What more is there to say I love you like a barefoot girl Loves the summer day The way a wanderin' gypsy Loves the changing sea Just like the restless river Loves old New Orleans I love a tiny village A quiet country town A house, a little garden With kiddies runnin' 'round You'd be a faithful husband I'd be a trusty friend Until I heard that steamboat Comin' 'round the bend Oh, I was born to wander I was born to roam And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home Oh, I was born to wander I was born to roam And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home
A gypsy with a crystal ball to gaze in Can look into the future, so they say But I am so afraid of fortunetellers To know the truth might cast my world away
Now, just suppose I called upon a gypsy To find you're gonna break my heart some day So, darlin', I'm confessin', not knowin' it's a blessin' So you can keep me guessin', come what may
A gypsy with a crystal ball to gaze in Can look into the future, so they say But I am so afraid of fortunetellers To know the truth might cast my world away
Now, just suppose I called upon a gypsy To find you're gonna break my heart some day So, darling, I'm confessin', not knowin' it's a blessin' So you can keep me guessin', come what may
We were waltzing to gether to a dreamy melody When they called out change partners And you waltzed away from me Now my arms feel so empty as I gaze around the floor And I,ll keep on changing partners till i hold you once more Though we danced for one moment and too soon we had to part in that wonderful moment something happened to my heart So I,ll keep changing partner till you,re in my arms and then Oh my darling I will never change partners again Though we danced for one moment and too soon we had to part in that wonderful monent something happened to my heart So I,ll keep changeng partner till you,re in my arms and then Oh my darling I wil never change partners again~
CHORUS How much is that doggie in the window? *(arf! arf!)* The one with the waggley tail How much is that doggie in the window? *(arf! arf!)* I do hope that doggie's for sale
I must take a trip to California And leave my poor sweetheart alone If he has a dog, he won't be lonesome And the doggie will have a good home
CHORUS
I read in the paper there are robbers **(roof! roof!)** With flashlights that shine in the dark My love needs a doggie to protect him And scare them away with one bark
I don't want a bunny or a kitty I don't want a parrot that talks I don't want a bowl of little fishies He can't take a goldfish for a walk
How much is that doggie in the window? *(arf! arf!)* The one with the waggley tail How much is that doggie in the window? *(arf! arf!)* I do hope that doggie's for sale
I went to your wedding Although I was dreading The thought of losing you The organ was playing My poor heart kept sayingyour dreams your dreamsare through You came down the aisle Wearing a smile A vision of loveliness I uttered a sighwhispered goodbye Goodbye to my happiness Your mother was crying Your father was crying And I was crying too The teardrops were falling Because we were losing you You came down the aisle Wearing a smileA vision of loveliness I uttered a sigh And then whispered goodbye Goodbye to my happiness Oh your mother was crying Your father was crying And I was crying too The teardrops were falling Because we were losing you
No one before you, ever made me feel this way You taught me how to believe And all I've ever wanted, is rough there in your eyes And everything you are is that I need
And I'm high on the wings of a dream Now I know what it means to be crazy in love And baby, I wanna feel your heart in mine 'Til the end of time, your love is all that matters to me When I hold you tenderly
You're the river, running into my sea It's like we have always been one Baby, you stopped me from shaking With one touch of your hand And now all my hurting is done
In this world, only you Can love me the way that you do
Your love is all that matters to me When I hold you tenderly
(Go . . . go . . . go) Oh, let me go Let me go Let me go, lover Let me be Set me free From your spell You made me weep Cut me deep I can't sleep, lover I was cursed From the first Day I fell You don't want me But you want me To go on wanting you Now I pray that You will say that We're through Please turn me loose What's the use? Let me go, lover Let me go Let me go Let me go You made me weep Cut me deep I can't sleep, lover I was cursed From the first Day I fell You don't want me But you want me To go on wanting you Now I pray that You will say that We're through Please turn me loose What's the use? Let me go, lover Let me go Let me go Let me go
