Whitley, Keith - Sad Songs And Waltzes Lyrics

quick-quick-slow-quick-quick-slow :)

I bout skipped over this, but im glad i didn't.

Now thats country ....and to thank we have got all these fake ass posers like thomas Rhett and all the other princesses now ...they wouldn't know country if it hit them in the dick

This is a good song! Also, briefly at times in this song, his voice sounded a little bit like Daryle Singletary.

Written by Willie Nelson, and his multiple version is the standard, the Keith Whitley and Darrell McCall versions, if you never heard the Nelson versions, are standards in their own right.

Taking this time to wish JACKIE "KEITH" WHITLEY a Heavenly HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!! JULY 1ST. 1954!!!! Miss and love your voice and music more than I can say, Yesterday , Today, and ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is available a petition to sign to help get Keith inducted to the CMHOF.Go to Facebook, search for Keith Whitley-petition, that will then take you to where you can sign it, yes, it is for this year2019. Thank you.

I'm not saying he's in a class by himself,but whatever class he's in it doesn't take long to call the roll

Very beautiful amazing wow just love his voice beautiful voice

This is one of the greatest country voices and songs ever !!!

I'm writing a song all about you
A true song as real as my tears
But you've no need to fear it
'Cause no one will hear it
Sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year
I'll tell all about how you cheated
I'd like for the whole world to hear
I'd like to get even
With you 'cause you're leavin'
But sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year
It's a good thing that I'm not a star
You don't know how lucky you are
Though my record may say it
No one will play it
Sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year (alright)
It's a good thing that I'm not a star
You don't know how lucky you are
Though my record may say it
No one will play it
Sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year (alright)

Can’t believe 23 idiots don’t like Keith’s cover of that one

Don't look now, but looks like 1 a week has gone deaf.

Every single song he sings is so awesome. Haven’t heard one yet that I don’t like. And I’m not even a fan of country music. But Keith-man I love that guy!!! Everything he sings is the greatest best ever!!💕💖💖💖💞💞💘love love love . Wish he was still here☹️😢💔 I cant stop listening to him ever

Has a Jimmy Rodgers feel in the opening refrain. Thanks for posting.

Nothing Like Keith Whitley or Randy Travis...I miss Country Music...RIP Keith Whitley & RIP Country Music

Nothing like the older country

Amen to that!

Let me tell you one thing. There’s 18 👎 for this great music! I can bet there’s not one of them that I could sit down and have a beer with! Man, how can you not love this music. Thanks for the video!

Well you could certainly have a beer with me then or six, I love this music

Seems like we sure like a lot of the same songs, but Keith has been my Fav. forever. I will share him with the right people!!

Keith your music will always be played at my place I promise you not a day goes by without hearing your music.

I never miss a day with out some Keith in it.

It's a Beautiful song, thanks for uploading !!!

A beer magically popped into my hand when that steel guitar started.

@ Aaron McJunkin, I do understand, but in my case it is Wild Turkey or some Jim Beam. Something a touch harder, cuz the song is so sweet.

For me it was a joint and a beer lol

Lol! This music has that effect on us.

a whiskey glass for me

Anybody else feel like all of us who loved him, sure got ROBBED? Love his music and his lyrics always right on the money!!!

carol vine, yeah, I loved his singing and him as much as anyone. But, there is no one to blame as far as I can see. Correct me if I am wrong, no offense.
He was so, so, so talented, very much like Hank Sr., Elvis, Lefty and Patsy Cline.
Hell, Jim Reeves, Johnny Horton, and a select few others at least in my mind.
For some reason, God calls them early.
I have seen it all my life, and I don't know why exactly, but it seems like maybe they had too much stuff and He needed them and left the rest of us to wonder why. Best wishes....

Carol Vine +++

In my opinion, this man had more humanity in him, and his music sure lets everyone feel it.

This one was written and originally recorded by Willie Nelson.

This was Keith's 20th and last single. Pity it didn't chart.

One more of those songs where I would like to put my arms around his shoulders and tell him"It's going to be ok, Keith."

whoever disliked this need to kill themselves

We lost Keith whitley too soon to alcohol poisoning to soon he was a very talented person died from alchohol poison at the age of 34 years old when he died

William McCloud it’s true what they say....only the good die young 😔

I have to give this to Cake

One of Kentucky's best Keith Whitley

This song was written and originally recorded by Willie Nelson for HIS album "Shotgun Willie".  I've heard Willie's version and Keith's version.  Forgive my honesty, but Keith Whitley's version is better than Willie's, I'm sorry.

Roger Barrett Cake is the best cover

Sorry, Keith

Cake sucks. And Keith is waaaaay better than willie Nelson

my favorite two album by keith is sad song's and waltzes and the one he done with JD crow that has the song Tennessee blues on it

Keith at his finest......R.I.P.

True very true we lost keith Whitley to soon to alcohol poisoning to soon he was a very talented person died at age of 34 years old

And his songs had meanings there a purpose for every song that he had meanings died from alchohol poison at the age at of 34 years old

love his voice soooo much oh how i miss him.

KNEW HIS MOTHER HER BEST FRIEND DAISEY HOWARD

This is the only single by Keith Whitley without a chart placing. Great song though.

miss you keith i wish we i could bring you back you would have been the king of country hugzzzzzzz up in heaven

shona goobie thank you he was the best and still is that's why they killed him

He IS the king of country, always will be 👍🏼

shona goobie, for a fact, that ain't no lie. Cheers to you for saying that

this song is what country music was is and always will be.

bryan wallace I agree

Great Artist, Gone too soon. I just love his music. Randy Travis sounds a lot like Keith.RIP;  we miss you.

bill gleason

WOW, Keith never disappointed his fans, Magnificent!!

Stephanie Moreira Keith never disappointed his fans?? I'm pretty sure plenty were pissed when Keith drank himself to death.

Great song

Just a monster cover by Keith of the great Willie Nelson tune, and I daresay much better than Willie's original.

The real sound of Country, when Country was Country and heartaches were heartaches.

RIP Keith.

Real COUNTRY music

this is a really good song by a really good singer...I love Keith...Thank you for posting... <3

They aint seeling at all anymore and that's a dam shame

Man I love Keith

Love All Keith's Music, Love & Miss Him Everyday!

You already know that awful occasion when your close friend (who’s been a loser for a long time) gets an amazing woman to fall for him in 3 weeks?! Yep, that just happened. I’m aware I should think well done, even so I would prefer if it was me. He smiled as he told me he learned from the Cupid Love System (Search for it in Google). I wanna hide out inside a cave at this point...

Love the older country nothing like it ever

My all time fav song of Keith Whitley. It doesn't get any better than this!!!

pure magic this music gives me hope

what a great singer i sure miss him
