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?
