True Love Waltz

I wrote this while keeping the tune of Tennessee Waltz in my head, since I've been practicing it so much on my fiddle lately!

True Love Waltz

We were dancing
         in the moonlight
                   by the river
         on a warm night
while the crickets kept up in a song

And the fireflies
         danced beside us
                   and the music
         was inside us
as the river crept lazily along.

And the love in your eyes
are the stars in the skies
like candles so longingly burn.
         How I love you
                   and think of you
         as my past
                   lifts above you
while I give you myself in return.
