In A Country Churchyard |
| In a country churchyard there’s a preacher with his people |
| Gathered all around to join a man and woman |
| 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 walks slowly to the altar |
| 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 peoble 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 away" |
| Many years have fallen on that golden country morning |
| The graveyard’s overgrown, the 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 seemed 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… |
| Let your love shine on |
| For we are the stars in the sky |
| Let your love shine strong |
| Until the day you fly… |
| Fly away… |
