Leonard Cohen Lyrics

Album: Dear Heather

Tennessee Waltz (Live) Lyrics

I was dancing with my darlin'

 to the Tennessee Waltz

 When an old friend I happened to see

 Introduced him to my loved one

 and while they were waltzing

 My friend stole my sweetheart from me.

 I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz

 Now I know just how much I have lost

 Yes I lost my little darlin'

 The night they were playing

 The beautiful Tennessee Waltz.

 She comes dancing through the darkness

 To the Tennessee Waltz

 And I feel like I'm falling apart

 And it's stronger than drink

 And it's deeper than sorrow

 This darkness she's left in my heart.
