Conway Twitty And Loretta Lynn – I Still Believe In Waltzes Lyrics
[Loretta:]
I pushed him away and carefully said Im just not htat kinda girl
You might think I’m square
But you’ve been around in the ways of the world
I know that making is taking for granted
Its all easy come ,easy go
He pulled me close ,whispered,now darlin theres something I want you to know
[Conway:]
I still believe in waltzes ,and girls with old fashioned ways
I still believe in love songs,in the good,inthe good ole days
I’ve always liked happy endings,somebodys dream coming true
I still believe in waltzes and dancing the last one with you
[Loretta:]
He slipped into bed,I turne dover and said
Im worried your working so late
Is it just your job
That keeps you away,Lord
I know the temptations are gray
Im just a wife,Im just a momma
Its not too exciting I know
He pulled me close and whispered those same words that night long ago
[Conway:]
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,somebodys dream coming true
I still believe in waltzes and dancing the last one with you
We still believe in waltzes…
