Lyrics by Austin Hurgon
Music by Leo Fall

In pre-syncopation days the musical comedy world revolved in waltz time. The Merry Widow waltzed into matrimony and set the ball rolling. Then came an avalanche of waltzes from 'The Waltz Dream' to 'The Last Waltz' and heroines invariably lost (Act II) and won (Act III) in 'Three-four' time. Leo Fall summed up the situation by composing 'The Eternal Waltz.'
