THE HESITATION WALTZ
(FEMALE VERSION)
Music & Lyrics by HARRY LEWIS
Across the crowded dance floor
Stands a cowboyblue eyes and blond hair.
Love at first sight,
I’ve wanted all night
To ask him to dance, but I just stand and stare.
I promise myself that I’ll ask him
As soon as the music halts…
Too late, another miss
Blew Tex a kiss,
Now I’m dancin’ THE HESITATION WALTZ!
And the music plays on and on and on,
It’s the kinda’ tune that coulda’ been our song.
But I’m still standin’ here
With this lukewarm beer
Watchin’ Mr. All Right dance with Mrs. All Wrong!
As they one-two-three, one-two-three past me,
I one, two, three count all my faults.
And the total I get
Comes to one word: Regret.
Now I’m dancin’ THE HESITATION WALTZ!
And they waltz out the door and he’s gone for good.
Guess the night’s over, no second chance.
I’ll go home to bed
And read my cat Fred
A chapter ‘r two from a dimestore romance.
You can bet the next time I see a cowboy
Who makes my heart do somersaults,
I’ll smile and play the game
And make ev’ry other dame
Dance THE HESITATION WALTZ!
