Wynn Stewart – The Waltz Of The Angels Lyrics

The waltz of the angels I hear each time
That I hold you tightly in these arms of mine
It must be from heaven this music I hear
When your lips say I love you in waltz time my dear
There must be a power much higher than mine a writer of love songs way up in the sky
The maker of roses of love sweet and true
And the waltz of the angels he wrote just for you
[ steel ]
There must be a power…
