You were a soldier from the way, waltzing me all the way 
home
I'd never seen your kind before, your every word was a 
poem
Thank you for giving me reasons for living, more reasons 
than I'd ever known
Thank you for giving me new worlds to live in and 
waltzing me all the way home
Now that you're just a memory waltzing me all the way 
home
I hope they treat you tenderly in London, Paris and Rome
You'll find a lover who looks like your mother
For heaven's sake don't be alone
And I'll find another lover who looks like your brother
But never another for waltzing me all the way home
