Accompaniment track:
Lyrics
- Oh! how we danced on the night we were wed
We vowed our true love though a word wasn’t said
The world was in bloom, there were stars in the skies
Except for the few that were there in your eyes
Dear, as I held you so close in my arms
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Two hearts gently beating were murmuring low
“My darling, I love you so”
- The night seemed to fade into blossoming dawn
The sun shone anew but the dance lingered on
Could we but relive that sweet moment sublime
We’d find that our love is unaltered by time
Sung here by Fred Feild:
