Lyrics

The Bittersweet Waltz

From the past a face divine
Suddenly real, not in my mind.
Different yet familiar, the years have been kind.
A flash of a smile, (one) that I used to know
Awakened old feelings from so long ago.

Memories flood my mind like a River
And wash away the ground 'neath my feet
The sweet fragrance of first summer love
Runs like good spirits through me
Whiskey warm and so bittersweet

BREAK

She said “my, the time has flown”,
Surely I must have known.
The feelings I’d harbored, were mine all alone
And an awkward goodbye, there was no more to say
I stood lost in silence, as she walked away

Memories flood my mind like a River
Wash away the ground 'neath my feet
The bitterness of unanswered love
Runs like a poison through me
Whiskey warm and so bittersweet

BREAK – slows down at last line to the ending
