Our First Christmas Waltz
Lyrics
You in your black velvet dress
Me in my brother's new vest
Me by the wall you chatting them all
You asked me to dance the First Christmas waltz

In our first Christmas Waltz we went one step at a time
You touched my arm I put your hand in mine
There was magic in the music and music in our eyes
And we've danced every day of our lives

I'm slow off the mark I suppose
It took me a year to propose
I had no clue but I think you knew
Right from the start of our first Christmas Waltz

In our first Christmas Waltz we went one step at a time
You touched my arm I took your hand in mine
There was magic in the music and music in our eyes
We've danced every day of our lives

(Instrumental)

40 years later I'm stuck in bed
Too weak to dance anymore
You touched my hand and you kissed my head
And whispered, "let's dance like before"

In our first Christmas Waltz we went one step at a time
You touched my arm I took your hand in mine
There was magic in the music and music in our eyes
We have danced every day of our lives
There was magic in the music and music in our eyes
And we've danced every day of our lives
We've danced every day of our lives
We've danced every day of our lives
We've danced every day of our lives
