At least three different meanings are recognized. In the historically first sense, the name may refer to several versions of the waltz, including the earliest waltzes done in ballroom dancing, danced to the music of Viennese Waltz.
What is now called the Viennese waltz is the original form of the waltz and the first ballroom dance in the closed hold or "waltz" position. The dance that is popularly known as the Waltz is actually the English or slow waltz, danced approximately at 90 beats per minute with 3 beats to the bar (the international standard of 30 measures per minute) while the Viennese Waltz is danced at about 180 beats (98-60 measures) a minute. To this day however, in Germany, Austria and France, the words "Walzer" (German for "waltz") and "valse" (French for "waltz") still implicitly refers to the original dance and not the slow waltz.
The Viennese Waltz is a rotary dance where the dancers are constantly turning either in a clockwise (natural) or anti-clockwise (reverse) direction interspersed with non-rotating change steps to switch between the direction of rotation. A true Viennese waltz consists only of turns and change steps. Other moves such as the fleckerls, American-style figures and side sway or underarm turns are modern inventions and are not normally danced at the annual balls in Vienna. Furthermore, in a properly danced Viennese Waltz, couples do not pass, but turn continuously left and right while travelling counterclockwise around the floor following each other.
As the Waltz evolved, some of the versions that were done at about the original fast tempo came to be called specifically "Viennese Waltz" to distinguish them from the slower waltzes. In the modern ballroom dance, two versions of Viennese Waltz are recognized: International Style and American Style.
Today the Viennese Waltz is a ballroom and partner dance that is part of the International Standard division of contemporary ballroom dance.

Me and my best friend, Emma, listened to this song when we were about twelve years old, all the time together. So that we would never forget each other. We would dance together and laugh and play and be happy. Since this is basically a sad song, we decided to change the meaning and make it a happy song to us. So that when ever we listen to this we're happy and not sad. We liked it better without words. We didn't know why. We just did. I listened to this song when we didn't see each other or one of us was on a trip without the other. She said that she did the same and that made this that much more special. We met each other when we were 2 years old and instantly became best friends (our parents were friends).
We had a very strong connection to each other. Until she was tragically killed in a car accident. Our friend ship lasted 17 years.
This song was played at her funeral.
I listen to this and remember out fun times together. I miss her so much.
Rest In Peace
Emma

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love
When I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

My wife and I are having our wedding ceremony this April and she's walking in to this version of the song.
I get teary eyed just at the thought of it.
I can't wait, it'll be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in the world.
Update:
Thank you everyone for your kind words!
We had our wedding April 25th and as expected her walking in to this tune was unbelievable. It's hard to put into words how radiant she was, so I won't even try. I didn't cry though!
During our exchange of vows we wrote letters to each other from when we are 80 years old and have spent an entire life together - recalling all the struggles, good times, and how much our love for each other has grown over the years. It was extremely powerful, with even the priest and cameraman unable to hold back the tears.
Love is a beautiful thing, and I hope everyone is able to find that special person to share it with. If you have, cherish it, for it truly does conquer all things.

My wife used this as her wedding march. As long as I’m alive even if it’s the last thing I’ll remember. I’ll always remember how beautiful she looked in that exact moment
