If you turn on your radio
Listen to the late show
You'll hear something
We used to know
The song sung sweet and low
Took his lady waltzing
Trying to tell her something
Across the great divide
Is it just the way the story go
Makes me feel I need you so
Or just the way my heart knows
Not to be denied
Oh well, maybe it was hopeless girl
I cannot count the times we tried
And each time I needed you
Your arms were open wide
He took his lady waltzing
Yes, you know he loved her so
And I love to hear him sing
Across the great divide
Like a child he's dreaming she is there
He sees her everywhere
Feels he could do anything
If she was by his side
Turn on your radio
Listen to the late show
You'll hear something
We used to know
The song sung sweet and low
Took his lady waltzing
Waltzing, waltzing
Across the great divide
When I rerecord one perfect line
'Cause you're the one I thought I'd never find
Feel your breath in mine
I hold it all inside
Don't you see now
There's nothing left to hide
Waltzing with the lights low
When there was no divide
