HOME-COMING WALTZ, THE

(Bob Musel, Ray Sonin & Reg Connelly)

I can be gay though you're far from me
And I will tell you why
Each passing day means we soon will be
Together you and I

Dance the Homecoming Waltz with me,
What a homecoming that will be,
I don't need to tell you I've missed you so
Funny how slowly the days can go
Let the melody as we sway,
Tell you what I've been waiting to say,
Now all our goodbyes are history
With the Homecoming Waltz for me.

I'm making plans for that happy day
It won't be long till then
You'll be my partner when dreams come true
And we can waltz again

Dance the Homecoming Waltz with me,
What a homecoming that will be,
I don't need to tell you I've missed you so
Funny how slowly the days can go
Let the melody as we sway,
Tell you what I've been waiting to say,
Now all our goodbyes are history
With the Homecoming Waltz for me.

Save the home-coming waltz for me,
we will dance when the world is free.
I'll hold you so close to my heart again,
Knowing that we'll never part again;

And the melody as we sway
Will tell you what I've waited to say.
When all our goodbyes are history,
Save the home-coming waltz for me.

When all our goodbyes are history,
Save the home-coming waltz for me.
