[00:00.00]In A Country Churchyard - Chris De Burgh
[00:14.99]In a country churchyard there's a preacher with his people
[00:19.79]
[00:21.16]Gathered all around to join a man and woman
[00:26.00]
[00:27.12]Spring is here and turtledoves are singing from the steeple
[00:32.36]
[00:33.48]Bees are in the flowers growing in the graveyard
[00:38.96]
[00:39.52]And over the hill where the river meets the mill
[00:44.83]
[00:45.90]A lovely girl is coming down
[00:48.45]
[00:49.20]To give her hand upon her wedding day
[00:52.39]
[00:58.56]Dressed in simple white and wearing flowers in her hair
[01:03.52]
[01:04.77]Music as she walks slowly to the altar
[01:09.73]
[01:10.92]And picking up his bible then the preacher turns towards her
[01:16.46]
[01:17.27]"Will you take this man to be your wedded husband
[01:22.42]
[01:23.17]To honor and love in the eyes of God above
[01:28.49]
[01:29.36]Now let the people sing with me
[01:32.67]These words to life forever in your heart
[01:38.14]
[01:40.52]Let your love shine on
[01:47.30]
[01:48.11]For we are the stars in the sky
[01:52.42]
[01:53.04]Let your love shine strong
[01:59.93]
[02:01.37]Until the day you fly away"
[02:07.67]
[02:13.49]Many years have fallen on that golden country morning
[02:18.34]
[02:19.52]The graveyard's overgrown the church lies in ruins
[02:24.71]
[02:25.89]Ivy on the walls and ravens wheeling round above me
[02:30.92]
[02:31.80]As I made my way towards the last remaining headstone
[02:37.41]
[02:37.92]I fell to my knees read the lines beneath the leaves
[02:43.34]
[02:44.22]And suddenly it seemed to me
[02:47.06]
[02:47.63]I heard the words like singing in the trees
[02:53.13]
[02:55.51]Let your love shine on
[03:02.25]
[03:02.94]For we are the stars in the sky
[03:07.31]
[03:07.92]Let your love shine strong
[03:15.07]
[03:16.37]Until the day you fly
[03:19.93]
[03:20.68]Let your love shine on
[03:27.43]
[03:28.29]For we are the stars in the sky
[03:32.04]
[03:32.91]Let your love shine strong
[03:39.78]
[03:41.22]Until the day you fly away
