32 year old Zelda is unwell in a psychiatric hospital. For therapy, her physician suggests she writes everything about her life down on paper. She feels it would make a good novel. She decides to call it Save Me The Waltz. It takes her six weeks to complete.

Zelda
Here in the dark, wondering
Where is the light of my life?
Waiting on my hero
One more night
I have a dream always
That never quite comes true
Before the dance is over
Here’s all I want from you

Save me the waltz
That’s all I’m asking
Say that you’re mine
When the tango is through
Dazzle the world until the end
Whatever, please won’t you save me the waltz
My friend?

Save me the waltz
That’s all I’m asking
Say that you’re mine
When the tango is through
Dazzle the world until the end
Whatever, please won’t you save me the waltz
My friend?
