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 graveyards 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…
