Lyrics Summer Bride - Philippa Hanna

Summer Bride

He was the sweetest thing this girl had ever seen
and pretty soon she could see he was fairly keen
As they walked up through the trees
where they could see the whole of Sheffield
and he got down on one knee.
That look in her eyes
She couldn’t believe what he had done
but then he took her away
He called her to say that they were making a mistake
and he made the break.
She said: «Don't come anywhere near me 'cause I have been severely burned.
How could I believe it was my turn?
Don’t you even touch me 'cause I can’t look you in the eye.
I thought I was gonna be a summer bride but maybe I was wrong.»
But she only knew one way
that she could ease the pain and after calling on
Jesus' name she didn’t feel so low.
Sunday morning she went to pray
and heard the preacher say something so meaningful,
it cut back to the core.
'You'll never be lost, never forgotten, never far;
He’ll never regret putting that ring upon your finger evermore;
He is yours
even when you say:
Don’t come anywhere near me 'cause I have been severely burned.
How could I believe it was my turn?
Don’t you even touch me 'cause I can’t look you in the eye.
I thought I was gonna be a summer bride but maybe I was wrong.
But you’ll never be lost, never forgotten, never far;
He’ll never regret putting that ring upon your finger evermore;
He is yours
even when you say:
Don’t come anywhere near me 'cause I have been severely burned.
How could I believe it was my turn?
Don’t you even touch me 'cause I can’t look you in the eye.
I thought I was gonna be a summer bride but I was right,
I was right.
