Dance with me, darling, like a flower in the wind
~ Am G C Cadd9-C G
To the strains of the Bluebonnet Waltz"
Am G
I courted you through April
Am G
And I married you in May

I recall those autumn evenings
F G
We would waltz the nights away

As I lingered in the springtime of your smile

Am Em F C
"Love is a meadow, growing wild in the spring

To the strains of the Bluebonnet Waltz"

Now I still will bring you flowers
Am G
When the prairie blushes blue
Am G Am Em
To show you that another winter's passed
Am G
I will tell you of a young girl
F G
Who, each year, looks more like you
F G C Cadd9-C G
And I'll seem to hear your voice across the grass
CHORUS:
Am Em F C
"Every springtime has to come to an end
~ Am C G
Every flower has to wither and fall
F C F C
But think of me, darling, when the music begins

Playing the strains of an old Texas waltz___
