THE LAST CHEATER'S WALTZ
Music & lyrics by Emmylou Harris & Sonny Throckmorton 1978
-------------------------------------------------------------
She's going to pieces when he walked in the door
She just had to see him she can't wait no more
Tonight she'll be with him no matter the cost
As the band plays The Last Cheater's Waltz
And oooooooohh don't they play lonely
Oooooooohh don't they play sad
And oooooooohh three quarter only
See how he holds her
As the band plays The Last Cheater's Waltz
He tells her he loves her as the music plays on
He tells her he needs her but someone's at home
The ball game's all over and she knows she's lost
As the band plays The Last Cheater's Waltz
And oooooooohh don't they play lonely
Oooooooohh don't they play sad
And oooooooohh three quarter only
See how he holds her
As the band plays The Last Cheater's Waltz
And oooooooohh don't they play lonely
Oooooooohh don't they play sad
And oooooooohh three quarter only
See how he holds her
As the band plays The Last Cheater's Waltz
