I only just suppose.
D
D

I suppose that when you come
into the ballroom,
And the room itself is floating in the air,
A
A

If you're suddenly confronted
D
D

by His Highness,
A
A

You are frozen like a statue on the stair,

You're afraid he'll hear the way
your heart is beating
F

And you know you must
C

make the first advance

Then you seem to hear him

asking you to dance
You make a bow, a timid bow
And shyly answer, yes.

When he waltzes,
A

he whirls you around
so that your feet never
touch the floor.
D

That's right, they don't.
And he makes you feel

that you weigh nothing at all.
That's right, he does.
