I was dan cin' with my darlin to the T ennessee W altz
When an old friend I h appened to s ee.
Introduced her to my darlin' and while they were danci n'
my f riend stole my s weeth eart f rom m e.
I r emember the n ight and the T ennessee W altz
'cause I know just how m uch I have l ost
Yes I l ost my little darlin' the night they were p layin'
That b eautiful T enne ssee Wal tz
Now I w onder how a dance like the T ennessee W altz
Could have b roken my h eart so compl ete
Well I c ouldn't blame my darlin' and w ho could help f allin'
In l ove with my d arli n' s o sw eet
Well it m ust be the f ault of the T ennessee W altz
Wish I'd known just how m uch it would c ost
But I d idn't see it commin' it's all o ver but the c ryin'
Blame it a ll on the T enne ssee Wal tz
He goes d ancin' in the darkness to the T ennessee W altz
and I f eel like I'm f alling a part
and it's s tronger than drinkin and it's d eeper than s orrow
this da rkness he l eft i n my hea rt
I r emember the n ight and the T ennessee W altz
'cause I know just how m uch I have l ost
Yes I l ost my little darlin' the n ight they were p layin'
That b eautiful T enne ssee Wal tz
