ST NICHOLAS WALTZ, THE
(Carson)

as recorded by Lita Roza
with Johnny Douglas & his Orchestra
1953


Christmas candles gleaming brightly,
While your arms held me tightly,
We danced the Saint Nicholas Waltz.
Pretty music, happy laughter,
But the parting came after
We danced the Saint Nicholas Waltz.

I stood and let you go,
Alone across the snow,
But now that we're apart
It breaks my heart!

Hurry home dear, and together
Every Christmas, for ever
We dance the Saint Nicholas Waltz!

I stood and let you go,
Alone across the snow,
But now that we're apart
It breaks my heart!

Hurry home dear, and together
Every Christmas, for ever
We dance the Saint Nicholas Waltz!
