My young
love said to me
my mother
won't mind
And my father
won't slight you
for your lack of kine
And she stepped
away from me
and this she did say
It will not be long love
'til our wedding day...
She stepped away
from me
and she moved
through the fair
And fondly
I watched her
move here
and there
And then she
turned homeward
with one star awake
As the swan
in the evening
moves over the lake
Last night
she came to me
she came softly in
So softly
she came
that her feet
made no din........
And she laid her
hand on me
and this
she did say....
It will not be long love
'til our wedding day
It will not be long love
'til our wedding day
