Bridal Ballad

Bridal Ballad - Hayley Westenra (海莉·薇思特拉)

The ring is on my hand

And the wreath is on my brow

Satin and jewels grand

Are all at my command

And I am happy now

And my Lord he loves me well

But when first he breathed his vow

I felt my bosom swell

For the words rang as a knell

And the voice seemed his who fell

In the battle down the dell

And who is happy now

But he spoke to re-assure me

And he kissed my pallid brow

While a reverie came over me

And to the church-yard bore me

And I sighed to him before me

Thinking him dead delormie

Oh I am happy now

Oh

That I am happy now

And thus the words were spoken

And this the plighted vow

And though my faith be broken

And though my heart be broken

Here is a ring as token

That I am happy now

Would God I could awaken

For I dream I know not how

And my soul is sorely shaken

Lest an evil step be taken

Lest the dead who is forsaken

May not be happy now

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
