 He pulled that straight-back  wicker chair
 Up next  to grandpa's bed
 And with a voice left weak by pain
 His  grandpa softly said
 Could you get  my cowboy boots
 And that gold pocket  watch of mine
 And bring  me my Sunday suit
 With the vest  that's satin-lined
 When he saw  the sadness in  his grandson's eyes
 He said I've got  to be prepared
 Because I'm going  home tonight
 I'm gonna waltz  across the Heavens
 While a band  of angels play
 I'm gonna two-step  on some stardust
 A million  miles away
 You'll never have  a new beginning
 Until  you reach the end
 And these old  legs are gonna come to life again
 Gonna wake up dancin'
 He said if it's  not too much trouble
 There's one  thing left to do
 Since I'm going  to see your grandma
 Could you get  her favorite shoes
 The ones  with those ribbons
 Red  and trimmed in white
 The last time she had them on
 I believe  we danced all night
 And why  she left them here  it's plain to see
 Your grandma never  danced with  anyone but  me
 And we're gonna  waltz across the Heavens
 While a band  of angels play
 We're gonna  two-step on some stardust
 A million  miles away
 You'll never have  a new beginning
 Until  you reach the end
 And these old  legs are gonna come to life again
 We're gonna waltz  across the Heavens
 While a band  of angels play
 We're gonna two-step  on some stardust
 A million  miles away
 I'll never have  a new beginning
 Until  I reach the end
 And these  old legs are gonna come to life again
 Gonna wake up dancin'
 Gonna wake up dancin'
 Wake up dancin'
