—Bill Monroe
Verse A:
The wedding bells chimed for somebody else
I wish they were ringing for me
And though I was hopin' someday you'd be mine
I guess that it never can be
Chorus:
Wishing wishing never again to be lonely
Waiting praying you know that I love you only so
Verse B:
When you are laughing with somebody else
You know I'll be cryin' for you
I may be smilin' to cover my tears
While waltzing with somebody new
And wishing that someone was you
Verse A:
I'm waltzing with somebody else in my arms
But you're still the one in my heart
I'm always dreamin' of our used to be
Wishing we had a new start
Chorus
Verse B:
I keep on wishing and hoping you'll find
That I am the right one for you
I may be waltzing with somebody else
But darlin' I'll always be true
'Til I'm wishing and waltzing with you
