"Do I Hear A Waltz" lyrics

"Do I Hear A Waltz"
(originally by Elizabeth Allen)

Do I hear a waltz?
Very odd, but I hear a waltz
There isn't a band
And I don't understand
It at all

I can't hear a waltz
Oh, my Lord, there it goes again!
Why is nobody dancing in the street?
Can't they hear the beat?

Magical, mystical, miracle
Can it be?
Is it true?
Things are impossibly lyrical
Is it me?
No, it's you!

I do hear a waltz
I see you and I hear a waltz!
It's what I've been waiting for
All my life: to hear a waltz!

Do you hear a waltz?
Oh, my dear, don't you hear a waltz?
Such love Blue Danube-y
Music, how can you be
Still?

You must hear a waltz!
Even strangers are dancing now
An old lady is waltzing in her flat
Waltzing with her cat

Roses are dancing with peonies
Yes, it's true!
Can't you see?
Everything's suddenly Viennese
Can't be you!
Must be me!

Do I hear a waltz?
I want more than to hear a waltz:
I want you to share it 'cause
Oh, my, do I hear a waltz?

I hear a waltz!
I hear a waltz!
