Chorus:

We were waltzing together,  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 partners,"  'till you're in my arms and then,

Oh! my dar1in',  I will never change partners again!
