The story behind the song

"The Last Waltz" tells a bittersweet story, playing on the idea of a "last waltz" in two ways. It describes the very first dance between two people, the final waltz of the evening when they first met, seeing a "little girl alone and so shy." Later, the song reflects on a final dance marking the end of their romance, as the relationship cools. Written by Barry Mason and Les Reed, this ballad became one of Engelbert Humperdinck's biggest hits in 1967. It captures the full circle of a love story, from its hopeful beginning to its tender farewell.
