Lyrics

O She lives up near the sky,

High up in the snow,

As a young ballerina,

She danced to steal the show:

But time had passed her by,

And all her dreams were gone,

Now, she sings to herself,

And she goes waltzing, alone.

He lives down in the woods -

The forest below,

And his dreams are of trees

And to hear the wind blow:

And he had never danced,

No, never had shone,

And he never did sing,

Go never waltzing, alone.

One day he came,

Brought wood to her fire,

He saw her beauty,

She saw his desire:

Oh, how she waltzed him,

So easy and slow,

Called him her own,

Romeo.

And in the wintertime,

She dressed all in red,

And he brought her cloudberries,

The day they were wed:

They danced down all the days,

Till winter had flown,

And she made his heart sing,

As they went waltzing alone.

When springtime came,

The woods were ablaze,

She said life burns so brightly,

So few of our days',

Then, oh how he waltzed her,

So easy and slow,

Till she drifted away,

Like the snow.

He dressed her all in white -

A beautiful swan -

And he held her so tight,

Like, she never was gone.

He laid her down to sleep -

A bed made of pine -

And laid flowers at her feet

Tied her hair with sweet vine:

And in her arms he'd wait,

For Heaven's bright throne,

Where together, forever,

They'd go waltzing alone.

Together, forever

Now, they'll go waltzing alone.
