You were a soldier from the way Waltzing me all the way home I'd never seen your kind before Your every word was a poem Thank you for giving me reasons for living More reasons than I'd ever known Thank you for giving me new worlds to live in And waltzing me all the way home Now that you're just a memory Waltzing me all the way home I hope they treat you tenderly in London, Paris and Rome You'll find a lover who looks like your mother For heaven's sake don't be alone And I'll find a lover who looks like your brother But never another for waltzing me all the way home Waltzing me all the way home
