Lyrics

I Can Only Write Waltzes
By Mike Whiteley
3-25-2019
Verse 1
I used to write sad songs, about love that’s gone wrong
About crying and leaving and folks who just can’t get along
But now when I sit down to write, you’re all that I see
Ain’t it funny how all of my sad songs are switching to sweet
 
Chorus
 I can only write waltzes since I danced my first dance with you
I can still feel us spinning around, I think my pen feels it too
Now it’s 1 2 3 you and me Baby, we’re loving in ¾ time
I can only write waltzes these days ‘cause you’re all I’ve got on my mind
 
Verse 2
I’ve got a friend who writes songs, and he likes my new style
When he asks me what my secret is, I just give him a smile
Now, I’m willing to help out a friend, but I’ll tell you the truth
I just don’t think that I want him out dancing with you
 
Chorus
I can only write waltzes since I danced my first dance with you
I can still feel us spinning around, I think my pen feels it too
Now it’s 1 2 3 you and me Baby, we’re loving in ¾ time
I can only write waltzes these days ‘cause you’re all I’ve got on my mind
 
Chorus
I can only write waltzes since I danced my first dance with you
I can still feel us spinning around, I think my pen feels it too
Now it’s 1 2 3 you and me Baby, we’re loving in ¾ time
I can only write waltzes these days ‘cause you’re all I’ve got on my mind
I can only write waltzes these days ‘cause you’re all I’ve got on my mind
