The Waltz Of The Angels
Wynn Stewart Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The waltz of the angels I hear each time
That I hold you tightly in these arms of mine
It must be from heaven this music I hear
When your lips say I love you in waltz time my dear
There must be a power much higher than mine a writer of love songs way up in the sky
The maker of roses of love sweet and true
And the waltz of the angels he wrote just for you
[ steel ]

There must be a power...

Overall Meaning

The idea is that the power of love is bigger than the singer and that it comes from a divine source.

The second verse expands on this idea, suggesting that there is a higher power responsible for the beauty of love. The singer describes this power as "a writer of love songs way up in the sky" who created "roses of love sweet and true" and who also wrote the waltz of the angels specifically for the singer's lover. Overall, the lyrics express a sense of wonder and awe at the transformative power of love and the idea that it may come from some higher force.
