Almost unknown, actually. If Willie hadn't recorded "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys" Ed would probably still be in the shadows. There's almost no room at all for him, VanZandt, Guy Clark and the rest these days.
Ed Bruce is one of those laid-back and underrated traditional-style of country singer who has that uncommon ability to reach out and tug at your heartstrings. Upon close appraisal one can observe that he also has great respect for the lyrics and the writer's input. It's all about transcending simply the words and music to be something truly special. So much so that if you listen to Ed and like him you find yourself constantly changing his favorite song rendition to the last one you heard! An exaggeration you ? Maybe so, but not by very much it ain't.Listenin' to olde Ed caress a tune to delivery is like re-listening to the late, great Ray Price hit "Danny Boy" out of the park and out of mortal sight. I can't pay him a higher complement than that!
Fabulous song from an iconic singer/songwriter! Vale, Rest in Peace and thanks for all your timeless songs and the memories of yesterday's country music !
Beautiful sing by Ed Bruce. One of his best. Why can't today's country music be like it was way back in the good ol' days? Listen up, Nashville! This is how it's done!
thank you devon your breeder loves you my husband glad i never lost you through your divorce our first datewas goood you look goood but please wear pink
Let's not forget the musicians who never get the credit they deserve on beautiful songs such as this one. Buddy Spicher on fiddle and Sonny Garrish on pedal steel helped make this song the hit it was in my humble opinion.
@pickerdownsouth, thanks for commenting and including the information. There was a comment left here about 5 years ago by a user named MrAlbeck22 where he too mentioned this, but I see his account has been deleted (and his post). I will add your information to the video notes. Thanks again.
I love this lyrics. I think it describes loves and passion in a simple but very direct and rightfull way. Ed Bruce was a great singer. And the composers were great.
my favorite EB song....reminds me of a dance floor I once shared with a beautiful lady.....looking into each others eyes.....the band was secondary..we barely noticed they were there...wow!
Thanks for the comment jekiwe. This is truly once of the great C&W songs, not only by EB, but by anyone. It is a mystery why this version is not available for download. The audio in this video was taken from an old cassette. So the sound quality isn't that great. I just wish it would be released on CD or MP3. Thanks again for the comment.
MTGirl, thank you for leaving a comment. And I agree... one of the best country songs ever. One can only guess why this one did not make it to MP3 download or even CD. Lost master recording? Legal issues? I wish someone close to Mr. Bruce would leave a comment and tell us what happened. Thanks again.
We don't dance the two-step anymore All we need's a small part of the floor The band can go on playin' almost anything it wants When you fall in love everything's a waltz Eyes were meant for lookin' into real close Arms were meant for holdin' what you want the most Lips were meant to say what bodies feel down in their hearts When you fall in love everything's a waltz We don't dance the two-step anymore All we need's a small part of the floor The band can go on playin' almost anything it wants When you fall in love everything's a waltz We don't hear the music that is being played But all we need's the music that our two hearts make Beating soft three-quarter time and we just sing along When you fall in love everything's a waltz We don't dance the two-step anymore All we need's a small part of the floor The band can go on playin' almost anything it wants When you fall in love everything's a waltz Oh the band can go on playin' almost anything it wants Cause we're in love and everything's a waltz
Nice Job I've liked Ed Bruce forever, This when Country music really was Country...
The people who gave this a thumbs down don't have a clue what good music is--I love his songs!!
Your right
Honestly every song of this guy is wonderful !
Yes--he is a wonderful singer isn't he? I just love his music--now that's country!!!
So true, and to dance to this song is even better.

Love this "old school" country. These new kids that call themselves singers do not have a clue as to what music supposed to sound like!
Absolutely👍
This one is still played in the dance halls all across Texas right up to this very day.
LuckenbachTexas7499 love it
keep me subbed

The first song I danced to & I was 40!! Country music as it should be!!!
Ed's another GREAT performer who was greatly under rated!
Almost unknown, actually. If Willie hadn't recorded "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys" Ed would probably still be in the shadows. There's almost no room at all for him, VanZandt, Guy Clark and the rest these days.
Totally agree with this comment
What a great ole’ country song to just sit back & enjoy! 🥴

I really like the violin play in the end!
I love this song, and Ed Bruce's wonderful voice.

We don't dance the two-step anymore
All we need's a small part of the floor
The band can go on playin' almost anything it wants
When you fall in love everything's a waltz
Eyes were meant for lookin' into real close
Arms were meant for holdin' what you want the most
Lips were meant to say what bodies feel down in their hearts
When you fall in love everything's a waltz
We don't dance the two-step anymore
All we need's a small part of the floor
The band can go on playin' almost anything it wants
When you fall in love everything's a waltz
We don't hear the music that is being played
But all we need's the music that our two hearts make
Beating soft three-quarter time and we just sing along
When you fall in love everything's a waltz
We don't dance the two-step anymore
All we need's a small part of the floor
The band can go on playin' almost anything it wants
When you fall in love everything's a waltz
Oh the band can go on playin' almost anything it wants
Cause we're in love and everything's a waltz
Love ed bruce, my recently departed husband and I danced to this song as newly weds in 1965. Loved this song, it says everything about true love!
Thank you for the lyrics. I’m to lazy to look it up
Thanks for the lyrics
great two step.
Yes I miss the two step,,,,Bakersfield 1985〽️🎸
John Kallsen dewy tucker
Rest in peace Ed Bruce.
true jewel.....
Love the fiddle.
Who watch this in 2024
Dão de Deus parabéns , adoro todas as músicas desse profissional
It's from the LP album "One to One" MCA 5188, I have an extra copy for only 70 SEK (c. $10 in shape E-). It's one of his best albums.
Thomas Buskhagen,
Do you still have that album?
Awesome
Loved
❤️
Great song love it!! ❤️💙❤️
