It’s hard to make war when you’re waltzing,
It’s hard to be sad or be blue
It’s hard to make war when you’re waltzing,
But it’s easy to say, I love you
Late at night when the anger is raging,
And the battle of the sexes is on,
Surrender your hearts to the music,
And remember this simple old song
That it’s hard to make war when you’re waltzing.
It’s hard to be sad or be blue.
It’s hard to make war when you’re waltzing,
But it’s easy to say, I love you
Even true love’s in danger of dying,
If we dwell on the worst, not the best,
So, if no one’s been killed or been captured,
Forgiveness can cure all the rest.
‘Cause it’s hard to make war when you’re waltzing,
It’s hard to be sad or be blue.
It’s hard to make war when you’re waltzing,
But it’s easy to say, I love you
There are times in life when there’s conflicts.
We cuss, and we fuss, and we fight.
So use your arms for healing, not hurting,
And make peace with your partners tonight.
Yes, it’s hard to make war when you’re waltzing.
It’s hard to be sad or blue,
It’s hard to make war when you’re waltzing,
But it’s easy to say, I love you.”
