Oh, play me a blues song and fade down the light I'm sad as a proud man could be sad tonight Just let me dream on, oh just let me sway While the sweet violins and the saxophones play And I know you don't know me, but can we pretend That we care for each other 'til the band reach the end? And it's one step for aching, two steps for breaking Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love One step's for sighing, two steps for crying Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love ♪ Now, they say, "Love's for gamblers", and the pendulum swing I bet hard on love and I lost everything So, don't send me home now, put a shot in my arm And we'll sing 'bout old memories, and drink 'til the dawn And hey there, bandleader, won't you play one more time? For I've got plenty money in this pocket of mine And it's one step for aching, two steps for breaking Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love One step's for sighing, two steps for crying Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love ♪ And I know you don't know me, but can we pretend That we care for each other 'til the band reach the end? And it's one step for aching, two steps for breaking Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love One step's for sighing, two steps for crying Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
