Kentucky Waltz by Bill Monroe "'Kentucky Waltz' was my first try at writing words to a song. I had written 74 instrumentals before I wrote it." —Bill Monroe Kentucky Waltz We were waltzing that night in Kentucky Beneath the beautiful harvest moon And I was the boy that was lucky But it all ended too soon As I sit alone in the moonlight I see your smiling face And I long once more for your embrace In that beautiful Kentucky Waltz.
