Starry Southern Nights

The band was playing a waltz an old man staggered from his chair
A sad smile flashed across his face as his mind drifted somewhere
He made his way through the crowd to any empty dance floor
Gently took his lover’s hand, he fell in love with her once more

He held her tightly in his arms beneath those shiny neon lights
Like he did when they were kids, under the starry southern nights

Chorus
He whispered, “Dear I love you, and I will til I die,”
Now he’s waltzing with her memory
Beneath the starry southern nights

V2
The fiddle hung on one last note, then his eyes filled up with tears
Although they dance here every night, his one true love’s been gone for years

Chorus – (Tag last two lines of chorus)
*Fiddle comes in on Tennessee Waltz turn around
