Verse:

There is a night in my memory,
Both you and the world were divine.
Although it seemed like a fantasy,
A beautiful waltz, and a wish you made mine;

Chorus:

I remember you and I were dancing to the Wishing Waltz,
As we fell in love, we found the magic of the Wishing Waltz;
I thought that we were in heaven,
Then, when I kissed you, I knew we were.
And as I closed my eyes, I made a wish, this moment would live on and on,
You were mine until the violins were still, then you were gone.
Here am I waiting and wondering when
I'll hear the Wishing Waltz and hold you in my arms again.
