Westphalia Texas Waltz by Mickey Newbury Lyrics

He said to her my little darlin'
Why you're as lovely as I did recall
Her eyes brightly sparkled like diamonds
As the tears started slowly to fall

Oh yes I can clearly remember
He said in a slow Texas drawl
And she cried as she softly surrendered
To the strains of the Westphalia Waltz

He stood as the sun in the morning
Rose up on Wichita Falls
And there in the dim light she watched as
He sauntered on off down the hall

And he said to her my little darlin'
Yes you're as lovely as I did recall
And she cried as she softly surrendered
To the strains of the Westphalia Waltz

Oh yes I can clearly remember
That night in San Antonio
He smiled as she softly surrendered
To the strains of the Westphalia Waltz
