Thread Name: Lyr Req: Old Scottish Waltz
Subject: Lyr Add: OLD IRISH WALTZ
I live in Anchorage Alaska and one of our local singers, Robin Hopper, put out a CD and one of the songs is the "Old Irish Waltz". I don't think anybody else put it out. Here are the lyrics.

Now when the country band plays
Old Irish waltz
Won't you dance with me
Tonight ‘neath the stars
And we'll dance on the lawn
While the moon lingers on
When the country band plays
That old Irish waltz

CHORUS: Shall we dance
Dance like the leaves in the wind
Never to come to an end
Shall we dance
Dance for the rest of our lives
For the old Irish waltz never dies

What is this magical song
Why do I feel so free
I’m floating and flying
While you dance with me
We are one we are all
And the song is within
When we dance on the hill
To the old Irish waltz. CHORUS

And when the band it stops playing
The song lingers on
In the mountains and trees
And the wind in your hair
And we'll dance all our lives
Forever tonight
When we dance on the hill
To the old Irish waltz. CHORUS

If you give me your email address. Maybe I can send you a tape or CD with my favorite Scottish and Irish recordings which would include those two songs. Would you like that?
