You were a soldier from the way, waltzing me all the way home   I'd never seen your kind before, your every word was a poem   Thank you for giving me reasons for living, more reasons than I'd ever known   Thank you for giving me new worlds to live in and waltzing me all the way home      Now that you're just a memory waltzing me all the way home   I hope they treat you tenderly in London, Paris and Rome   You'll find a lover who looks like your mother   For heaven's sake don't be alone    And I'll find another lover who looks like your brother   But never another for waltzing me all the way home
