| Lyrics: | Traditional, arranged by Van Morrison/Paddy Moloney
My young love said to me,
My mother
won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kind.
She stepped away
from me
And this she did say,
It will not be long love
Till our wedding day.
She stepped away from me
And she moved through the fair
And fondly I watched
her move here
And move there.
And she went her way homeward
With one star
awake,
As the swan in the evening
Moved over the lake.
Last night she came to
me,
My young love came in.
So softly she entered,
That her feet made no din.
And
she came close beside me
And this she did say,
It will not be long love
Till our
wedding day |
