Catalpa Waltz Lyrics

I waltzed this whole town
Through every nook and corner
And cranny, and bar
I know you're out there somewhere
Wherever you areMaybe the sun will rise
I saw it go down and scattered
Its golden light across the ground
I held you in the alleyMy hand on your waist
And your eyes were like diamonds
With the light on your face
Your gentle soul was open to meAnd I am so in love with who you be
With who you beI always will love to waltz
Across this city with you
From the rising of the moon
To the falling of the dewThere's a young catalpa tree
Out behind the record store
I'll always remember
The way you looked at meYour light was so pure I could hear

The door of our fate creaking ajar
I could hear the key in the hand of God
Turning inside the lockWe sat down to the feast of our youth
And you are the first and the last to ever be
The first to love me for who I am
Make sure I understand and I'll understand
