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 wedding your sweetheart he asked me,

Then to him these words I did say

CHORUS

When that someone you love doesn't love you,

A nd you are lonely and sad.

Fate dealt a hand and you've lost her,

The best pal that you ever had.

Each appeal that you made was a failure,

Your romance has come to the end.

And that someone you love doesn't love you

That's when your heartaches began.

[Repeat chorus] That's when your heartaches began.
