I pushed him away And carefully said I'm just not that kind of girl You might think I'm square 'Cause you've been around and you're wise In the ways of the world I know that making is taking for granted It's all easy come, easy go He pulled me close and whispered Now darlin' there's something I want you to know I still believe in Waltzes And girls with old fashioned ways I still believe in love songs In the good, in the good ole days I've always liked happy endings Somebody's dream coming true I still believe in Waltzes And dancing the last one with you He slipped into bed, I turned over and said I'm worried you working so late Is it just your job that keeps you away, Lord I know the temptations are gray I'm just a wife, I'm just a momma It's not too exciting I know He pulled me close and whispered those same words He told me that night long ago I still believe in Waltzes And girls with old fashioned ways I still believe in love songs In the good, in the good ole days I've always liked happy endings Somebody's dream coming true I still believe in Waltzes And I'll dance the last one with you We still believe in Waltzes
