Springtime, the acacias are bloomin'
Southern California will see one more day,
Dreamland and business is boomin',
Birds are a'singin' as I drift away...

She looks another year older,
From too many lovers
Who used her and ran
Some nights, oh she looks like an angel,
And she's always willing to hold you again.

(chorus)
So give her this dance,
She can't be forsaken,
Learn how to love her with all of her faults.
She gave more than she's taken,
We'll all go down doin'
The Hollywood Waltz...

Springtime and the lady's a'grievin'
Her lovers just stand there with nothin' to say
They got what they wanted,
They're packin' and leavin'
To look for another to love the same way...

So give her this dance,
She can't be forsaken.
Learn how to love her,
With all of her faults.
She gave more than she's taken,
And I'll go down doin' the Hollywood Waltz...
