This Waltz - Timothy B. Schmit

I don’t know if I’m living a lie

Or if I’m just feeling blue

Everyone says, 'Keep your chin up real high'

But I don’t know what to do

I’ve been told there’s a lesson to be learned

In everything good and bad

But sometimes it’s hard not to feel you’ve been burned

And it makes you feel way too sad

Some fall to their knees

I’m prone to endlessly pacing

I’m a tree that’s losing it’s leaves

Guess we’ll see what the future might bring

I’ve been lost, no wind in my sails

And it’s all based on faithless fear

But you’re like a flower, and your sweetness prevails

And it washes away my tears

So this is how it feels

You can’t take one moment for granted

It’s a large dose of what’s real

And I’m longing to sing once again

Why don’t you

Come close to me and let’s dance to this waltz

Let’s take to the floor and give it our all

Your patience is grand, my spirits are low

Let’s whirl all around the unknown

Where to turn, I wish I knew

There is no place to run

I gotta roll up my sleeves, do what I need to do

But it’s easier said than done

So I’ll keep swimming upstream

I am no different from others

Who have hopes, demons, and dreams

I guess I’ll see what the future might bring

Why don’t you

Come close to me and let’s dance to this waltz

Let’s take to the floor and give it our all

Your love is so strong, and I’m not alone

Let’s float straight on through the unknown

Why don’t you

Some close to me and let’s dance to this waltz

Let’s take to the floor and give it our all

Your patience is grand, my spirits are low

Let’s whirl all around the unknown
