The ballroom was quiet and empty
The band it had played the last waltz
The beautiful moonbeams from heaven
O'er lovers so softly did fall

A boy from the band saw me standing
And down o'er the floor made his way
Are you waiting your sweetheart he asked me
Then to him those words I did say

When that someone you love doesn't love you
And you are lonely and sad
Fate dealt a hand and you've lost it
The best pal that you ever had

Each appeal that you made was a failure
Your romance had come to the end
And that someone you love doesn't love you
That's when your heartaches begin

When that someone you love doesn't love you
And you are lonely and sad
Fate dealt a hand and you've lost it
The best pal that you ever had

Each appeal that you made was a failure
Your romance had come to the end
And that someone you love doesn't love you
That's when your heartaches begin
