We dance around the room to an old-fashioned tune An accordion started to play As we dance to the strains of the sweet melody My thought seemed to drift far away To a place long ago where we both used to go Where we danced 'til the dawn of the day Where old friends would gather in all kinds of weather And pass happy hours away As we waltzed round the room to an old favourite tune I knew you had something to say And when you told me you loved me That you'd always be mine I could hear the accordion play ♪ Many years have gone by, since we wed, you and I And we'd promise we'd always be true All the good times we've had and the times I've been sad Had been easy because I've had you And the gold wedding band that you placed on my hand On that wonderful day long ago Old sweet memories dear and my mind they're so clear It's no wonder, that I love you so As we waltzed round the room to an old favourite tune I knew you had something to say When you told me you loved me That you'd always be mine I could hear an accordion play When you told me you loved me That you'd always be mine I could hear an accordion play
