Verse:

This waltz that you saved for me,
I'll always keep in my memory,
This waltz, tho' it means "Good-bye,"
I'll always treasure each tender measure.

 

Chorus:

Ever in dreams with you I'll sway, dear,
To the waltz you saved for me.
Ever in dreams when I'm away, dear,
I'll hear this melody.
Whisper "Good-bye" and gently say, dear,
That in all the days to be,
You will sometimes remember,
The Waltz You Saved For Me.
