Lyrics
Maybe I didn't say all the right things
to make you stay
What were they?
Even if I could find something
that would change your mind
It wouldn't matter anyway
If life is a dance in three-quarter time
I'd still find myself a step out of line,
dancing the waltz of goodbye.

And if you couldn't feel
maybe I was never real to you
just a dream in blue
you were always real to me
even if I couldn't see
I believed... such a fool
led me on the floor still keeping time
I never knew it was you
dancing the waltz of goodbye,
dancing the waltz of goodbye.

There are times I get blue
maybe won't get over you
It's nothing new
love like yours couldn't hold,
like the ring it must have been fool's gold
We spun and we twirled,
like young lovers sigh
The clock strikes twelve
as we're dancing the waltz of goodbye
dancing the waltz of goodbye
