Here am I with you in a world of blue,

And we're danc -ing to the tan -go we loved when first we met;

While the mu -sic plays, we re -call the days

When our love was a tune that we could -n't soon for -get.

As I kiss your cheek, we don't have to speak,

The vi -o -lins like a choir, ex -press the de -sire we used to know not long a -go.

So just hold me tight in your arms to -night,

And this Blue Tan -go will be our thrill -ing mem -o -ry of love
