(Sandy Denny)
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Primrose is pale
On the velvet green hue
Warm summer days
Like cool water falls
Like music we hear
Those things we'll always hold dear
Like an old fashioned waltz
When the moonlight shines down
On the Hollywood world
And the heroine waits
For her love to return
And the violins play
From behind garden walls
Oh how I love to remain
With the silver refrain
Of an old fashioned waltz
And they dance 'round the floor
And there's no one else there
In the world is no worry
And is never a care
By the perfect moon
As the nightingale calls
With only the moon
And the nostalgic tune
Of an old fashioned waltz
The lyrics LIKE AN OLD FASHIONED WALTZ of EMMYLOU HARRIS is also present in the album White shoes (1983)
Emmylou Harris è una cantautrice statunitense nata in Alabama nel 1947. Considerata una delle figure più influenti della musica country degli anni '70 e successivi, ha saputo combinare elementi folk, country e rock in un sound unico. La sua carriera musicale ha preso una svolta importante nel 1971 quando Chris Hillman, membro dei Byrds e dei Flying Burrito Band, l'ha presentata a Gram Parsons, pioniere del country-rock. Harris ha collaborato con Parsons per il suo album di debutto *GP* e per il successivo *Grievous Angel*, considerato uno dei capolavori del genere. Dopo la tragica morte di Parsons nel 1973, Harris ha continuato a insegnare una carriera di successo, pubblicando numerosi album di grande successo, tra cui *Pieces of the Sky* (1975), *Luxury Liner* (1977) e *White Flowers* (1981). Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi si ricordano *Boulder to Birmingham*, *Red Dirt Girl* e *The Maker*. Emmylou Harris è stata insignita di numerosi premi, tra cui 14 Grammy Awards.
