Darling oh darling where are you tonight don't you even miss me at all You once danced with me and whispered tenderly that I was the belle of the ball The belle of the ball now stands by the wall You told me you love me and then let me fall But my heart will yearn until you return and call me the belle of the ball [ piano ] Young lovers dance by me with stars in their eyes as soft music flows through the hall I'll keep watching the door till you come back once more Then I'll be the belle of the ball The belle of the ball... Then I'll be the belle of the ball
