THE HESITATION WALTZ

(FEMALE VERSION)

Music & Lyrics by HARRY LEWIS

 

Across the crowded dance floor

Stands a cowboy—blue 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!
