Bob, I think you are a little older than I;in fact, if I remember correctly quite a few years old, which may be why I'd never heard of The Blue Skirts Waltz. However, I googled and found the music at this site: http://www.angelfire.com/music3/gloterry/blueskrt.mid. It's delightful and I'm sorry I never had the chance to waltz to it. I'm sitting here swaying in my chair as I listen and write this. smile I also found the lyrics, in case you need a reminder. The words below are listed in many places, but at one someone posted a correction. However, all the other sites seem to have these lyrics: Blue Skirt Waltz (Mitchell Parish & Vaclav Blaha) I wandered alone one night 'til I heard an orchestra play I met you where lights were bright and people were carefree & gay. You were the beautiful lady in blue, I was in heaven just waltzing with you. You filled me with strange delight then softly you stole away. I dream of that night with you, lady when first we met. We danced in a world of blue how can my heart forget. Blue were the skies and blue were your eyes just like the blue skirt you wore. Come back, blue lady come back. Don't be blue anymore. As done by Lawrence Duchow & his Red Raven Orchestra.

Review about Blue Skirt Waltz CORRECTED LYRICS blue skirt waltz | Reviewer: carol | 9/8/2007 I was waltzing with someone new, I heard an accordian play...I saw through a haze of blue, like it was yesterday...You were the beautiful lady in blue, I was in Heaven just waltzing with you...(etc. like you have it written. I waltzed to this in 1954 and sang it to my dancing partner.) For your enjoyment. Grab your wife, find the midi, and have a dance.
