WISCONSIN WALTZ, THE
(Ethwell "Eddie" Hansen)
Written in 1951 and adopted as Wisconsins
official state waltz in 2001.
Music from heaven throughout the years
The beautiful Wisconsin Waltz
Favorite song of the pioneers
The beautiful Wisconsin Waltz
Song of my heart on that last final day
When it is time to lay me away
One thing I ask is to let them play
The beautiful Wisconsin Waltz
My sweetheart, my complete heart
It’s for you when we dance together
The beautiful Wisconsin Waltz
I remember that September
Before love turned into an ember
We danced to the Wisconsin Waltz
Summer ended, we intended
That our lives then would both be blended
But somehow our planning got lost
Memory now sings a dream song
A faded love theme song
The beautiful Wisconsin Waltz
