Till I heard an orchestra play

And people were care free and gay

You were the beautiful lady in blue

I was in heaven just waltzing with you

You thrilled me with strange delight

Then softly you stole away

I dream of that night with you

Lady when first we met

We danced in a world of blue

How can my heart forget
