Oh you have such a pretty face

You favour a girl I once knew

I imagine that she’s in Tennessee

Oh Lord I should be there too

But I left Tennessee in a hurry dear

The same way that I’m leavin’ you

For love is mainly just memories

And everyone’s got them but few

Chorus:

It’s a brand new Tennessee Waltz

You’re literally waltzing on air

It’s a brand new Tennessee Waltz

With no telling who will be there

When I leave it’ll be like I found you love

Descending Victorian stairs

I’m feeling like one of your photographs

With not even you left to care

Have all your passionate violins play

A tune for a Tennessee kid

Who’s feeling like leaving another town

With no place to go if he did

Chorus:

It’s a brand new Tennessee Waltz

You’re literally waltzing on air

It’s a brand new Tennessee Waltz

With no telling who will be there
