Chris De Burgh "In A Country Churchyard" |
in a country churchyard there's a preacher and the people gathered all around to join a man and women spring is here and turtle doves are singing from the steeple bees are in the flowers growing in the graveyard and over the hill where the river meets the mill a lovely girl is coming down to give her hand upon her wedding day dressed in simple white and wearing flowers in her hair music as she slowly walks towards the alter and picking up his bible then the preacher turns towards her "will you take this man to be your wedded husband" "to honour and love in the eyes of god above" "now let the people sing with me these words to live forever in your heart..." Let your love shine on for we are the stars in the sky let your love shine strong until the day you fly yeah, many years have fallen on that golden country morning the graveyard's overgrown, church lies in ruins ivy on the walls and ravens wheeling round above me as I made my way towards the last remaining headstone I fell to my knees, read the lines beneath the leaves and suddenly it came to me, I heard the words like singing in the trees Let your love shine on for we are the stars in the sky let your love shine strong until the day you fly yeah Let your love shine on for we are the stars in the sky let your love shine strong until the day you fly away Until...you fly away Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
