Intro

Verse 1

 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

 Could 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 I've got to be prepared

 Because I'm going home tonight

Chorus

 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'

Verse 2

 He said if 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

 The ones with those ribbons

 Red and trimmed in white

The last time she had them on

 I believe we danced all night

 And why she left them here it's plain to see

 Your grandma never danced with anyone but me

Chorus 2

 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

Chorus 3

 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'
