A Waltz for a Night

I’ve encountered this song from the movie: Before Sunset. In the movie, this song is written by Julie Delpy’s character for Ethan Hawke’s character. It’s simple but romantic. Here’s the tab for the song and below is the lyrics along with a youtube video of the scene where it’s played courtesy of grbomr. You can try to listen and view how she plays and practice by playing along with her to help you learn the song (that’s what I did).

Lyrics

Let me sing you a waltz
Out of nowhere, out of my thoughts
Let me sing you a waltz
About this one night stand

You were for me that night

Everything I always dreamt of in life
But now you’re gone
You are far gone
All the way to your island of rain

It was for you just a one night thing

But you were much more to me
Just so you know
I don’t care what they say
I know what you meant for me that day

I just wanted another try

I just wanted another night

Even if it doesn’t seem quite right
You meant for me much more
Than anyone I’ve met before

One single night with you little Jesse

Is worth a thousand with anybody
I have no bitterness, my sweet
I’ll never forget this one night thing

Even tomorrow, another arms

My heart will stay yours until I die

Let me sing you a waltz
Out of nowhere, out of my blues
Let me sing you a waltz
About this lovely one night stand
