Madeleine |
| She was standing there, at the country fair |
| Sun was on her hair, I could only stare |
| From the moment when I saw her dancing |
| Well, I knew she had to be my bride |
| It was summertime, I was feeling fine |
| Would she join the line? |
| I took her hand in mine |
| From the moment when we danced together there |
| I knew she was to be my bride |
| We danced in the sun together |
| Danced in the rain together |
| Danced when the other folk had gone upon their way |
| She danced into my heart in such a pretty way |
| I knew she had to be my bride |
| While the music played, dancing through the day |
| We’d so much to say, time just slipped away |
| From the moment when I saw her dancing |
| Well, I knew she had to be my bride |
| She made my courage free, I sat her on my knee |
| Made a lover’s plea, would she marry me? |
| From the moment when we danced together then |
| I knew she had to be my bride |
| We danced in the sun together |
| Danced in the rain together |
| Danced when the other folk had gone upon their way |
| She danced into my heart in such a pretty way |
| I knew she had to be my bride |
| Madeleine, the fairest girl I’ve ever seen |
| Madeleine, you know what you mean to me |
| When she danced with me, I was full of glee |
| We could happily, as a family |
| From the moment when I saw her dancing |
| Then I knew she was to be my bride |
| Came the wedding day, people bright and gay |
| Music gently played, as our vows we made |
| From the moment when we danced together then |
| I knew she had to be my bride |
| We danced in the sun together |
| Danced in the rain together |
| Danced when the other folk had gone upon their way |
| She danced into my heart in such a pretty way |
| I knew she had to be my bride |
| Madeleine, the fairest girl I’ve ever seen |
| Madeleine, you know what you mean to me |
| She was standing there, at the country fair |
| Sun was on her hair, I could only stare |
| From the moment when I saw her dancing |
| Well, I knew she was to be my bride |
| We danced in the sun together |
| Danced in the rain together |
| Danced when the other folk had gone upon their way |
| She danced into my heart in such a pretty way |
| I knew she had to be my bride |
| Madeleine, the fairest girl I’ve ever seen |
| Madeleine, you know what you mean to me |
