The Annual Waltz(Chords)

	        


     D 
The night is so cold and life is so old 
                               G    D 
And the wind is now heavy with day dreams 
      A 
And I hold your hand to the music 
                            G    D 
And we think of the days of our youth 

                         
Every year at this time, our feet feel so inclined 
                               G    D 
And we hear those old musical memories 
     A                  
We slip thru this dance 
                                 G           D 
Like the first time we started falling in love 

 
   D  A  D            G    D    A 
This we do, and I am still with you 
         D                
And the heart beat still calls 

For the annual waltz 
          G                A          D 
It is our theme song for falling in love 


Fiddle Solo 
       D 
Oh I laughed at you, you laughed at me 
                                    G    D 
While our  grandchildrens'children have babies 
          A                             
Way off in the future, we are long gone 
                   G            D 
And someone still mentions our names 

      D                                      
Old pictures, in books, small shady nooks 
                             G   D 
Where our descendants learn all about us 
         A                            
And the dancing goes on to the fiddle 
                        G       D 
As they still play the Annual Waltz 

Fiddle Solo 
Chorus 
This we do, and I am still with you.
