A Night In Summer Long Ago |
| My lady may I have this dance |
| Forgive a knight who knows no shame |
| My lady may I have this dance |
| And lady may I have your name |
| You danced upon a soldier’s arm |
| And I felt the blade of love so keen |
| And when you smiled you did me harm |
| And I was drawn to you, my Queen |
| Now these boots may take me where they will |
| Though they may never shine like his |
| There is no knight I would not kill |
| To have my lady’s hand to kiss |
| Yes and they did take me through the hall |
| To leave me not one breath from you |
| And they fell silent one and all |
| And you could see my heart was true |
| Then I did lead you from the hall |
| And we did ride upon the hill |
| Away beyond the city wall |
| And sure you are my lady still |
| A night in summer long ago |
| The stars were falling from the sky |
| And still, my heart, I have to know |
| Why do you love me, lady, why? |
