Lyrics:
|
When we dance together my world's in disguise
It's a fairyland tale that come true And when you look at me with those stars in your eyes I could waltz across Texas with you Chorus: Waltz across Texas with you in my arms Waltz across Texas with you Like a storybook ending I'm lost in your charms And I could waltz across Texas with you My heartaches and troubles are just up and gone The moment that you come in view And with your hand in mine dear I could dance on and on |
