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.
