Lyrics
When we dance together, my world’s in disguise
It’s a fairyland tale that’s come true
And when you look at me with those stars in your eyes
I could waltz across Texas with you
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
Allen Ausleihen
And Pete Mitchell
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
And I could waltz across Texas with you
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
