[Verse 1] Grandma's rolling out the dough with flour on her hands Mother's stirring something sweet, following the plans Sister's peeling autumn apples, humming as she goes While the kettle starts to whistle and the warm oven glows [Refrain] One-two-three, we're dancing through the kitchen One-two-three, with love in every dish Spinning 'round together, working side by side On this day of thanks, our hearts are open wide In the kitchen waltz, the kitchen waltz tonight [Verse 2] Father's carving at the counter, sleeves rolled to his elbows Children sneaking tastes of this and that when no one knows Laughter echoes off the cupboards, stories fill the air Every pot and every pan is seasoned with our care [Refrain] One-two-three, we're dancing through the kitchen One-two-three, with love in every dish Spinning 'round together, working side by side On this day of thanks, our hearts are open wide In the kitchen waltz, the kitchen waltz tonight [Bridge] The recipes are handed down through all the years With every stir and every taste, the family gathers near It's not just food we're making here, it's memories that last We're waltzing with tomorrow while we're dancing with the past [Verse 3] Now the table's nearly ready and the work is almost done But the best part of the cooking is the time we've shared as one When we finally sit together and we bow our heads to pray We'll remember this sweet kitchen waltz on this Thanksgiving Day [Final Refrain] One-two-three, we danced through all the cooking One-two-three, with grateful hearts and hands Now we gather 'round the table, blessed and satisfied On this day of thanks, with family by our side From the kitchen waltz, the kitchen waltz Yes, the kitchen waltz tonight [Outro] (One-two-three... one-two-three...) The kitchen waltz tonight
