Thread Name: Lyr Req: Waltz of the Flowers
Subject: Lyr Add: WALTZ OF THE FLOWERS (Dubin, Warren)
Lyr. Add: The Waltz of the Flowers
Lyric Al Dubin, music Harry Warren

The daisies are dancing
A rose is romancing
A shy little violet blue;
Carnations are swaying,
The lilacs are playing
The waltz that I'm dancing with you.
The bluebells are ringing,
The tulips are singing
An old-fashioned song that is new.
Flowers glide
Side by side
While I waltz with you.

Interlude:

Springtime blossoms
Alll dressed in white,
And jolly hollyhocks
Put on their gayest frocks;
Morning glories
Dance through the night,
There's one forget-me-not
That all the rest forgot;

Chorus 2

The daisies are dancing
A rose is romancing
A shy little violet blue;
Carnations are swaying,
The lilacs are playing
The waltz that I'm dancing with you.
The bluebells are ringing,
The tulips are singing
An old-fashioned song that is new.
Flowers glide
Side by side
While I waltz with you;
And it all comes true
When I waltz with you.

1937, "Gold Diggers in Paris (1938)
