He pulled that straight-back wicker chair
Up next to grandpa's bed
And with a voice left weak by pain
His grandpa softly said
ââ¬Â½Could you get my cowboy boots
And that gold pocket watch of mine?
And bring me my Sunday suit
With the vest that's satin-lined
When he saw the sadness
In his grandson's eyes
He said, ââ¬Â½I've got to be prepared
Because I'm going home tonightââ¬Â
I'm gonna waltz across the heavens
While a band of angels play
I'm gonna two-step on some stardust
A million miles away
You'll never have a new beginning
Until you reach the end
And these old legs
Are gonna come to life again
Gonna wake up dancin'
He said, ââ¬Â½If it's not too much trouble
There's one thing left to do
Since I'm going to see your grandma
Could you get her favorite shoes?ââ¬Â
ââ¬Â½The ones with those ribbons
Red and trimmed in white
The last time she had them on
I believe we danced all nightââ¬Â
ââ¬Â½And why she left them here
It's plain to see
Your grandma never danced
With anyone but meââ¬Â
And we're gonna waltz across the heavens
While a band of angels play
We're gonna two-step on some stardust
A million miles away
You'll never have a new beginning
Until you reach the end
And these old legs
Are gonna come to life again
We're gonna waltz across the heavens
While a band of angels play
We're gonna two-step on some stardust
A million miles away
I'll never have a new beginning
Until I reach the end
And these old legs
Are gonna come to life again
Gonna wake up dancin'
Gonna wake up dancin'
Wake up dancin'
