Your love and mine, dear, It will shine, dear Just like that golden ring on your fingerLove isn't just for tonight Or two arms that hold me so tight Love is a song that two must learn to sing Love is a golden ringLove's not a summer romance Or the kiss that follows the dance Love is forever a rare and lasting thing Love is a golden ringA wedding in the church The happiness and tears The little ring you'll wear Will last through all the years And in our golden days We'll find eternal spring With love and the golden ringSo please won't you wear it for me With faith and sweet charity For lonely lovers lost This message we will bring Love is a golden ring Love is a golden ring Love is a golden ring Love
All day I've faced the barren waste, Without the taste of water: Cool water. (Water.) Old Dan and I, with throats burned dry, An' souls that cry for water: (Water.) Cool, (Water.) Clear, (Water.) Water. (Water.)Keep a-movin, Dan, Don't you listen to him, Dan, He's the devil, not a man: Spreads the burning sand with water. (Water.) Dan, can you see that big, green tree, (Water.) Where the water's runnin' free? (Water.) It's waitin' there for me and you? (Water.)The nights are cool, I'm a fool. Each star's a pool of water. Cool water. (Water.) But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn, And carry on to water. (Water.) Water, (Water.) Water, (Water.) Water, (Water.)Keep a-movin, Dan, Don't you listen to him, Dan, He's the devil, not a man: Spreads the burning sand with water. (Water.) Dan, can you see that big, green tree, (Water.) Where the water's runnin' free? (Water.) Waitin' there for me and you?Cool, (Water.) Clear, (Water.) Water. (Water.)Cool, (Water.) Clear, (Water.) Water. (Cool, clear, water.)
Your eyes are the eyes of a woman in love And oh how they give you away Why try to deny you're a woman in love When I know very well what I say I say no moon in the sky ever lent such a glow Some flame deep within made them shine Those eyes are the eyes of a woman in love And may they gaze ever more into mine Crazily gaze ever more into mine
Those eyes are the eyes of a woman in love And may they gaze ever more into mine Crazily gaze ever more into mine
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin' On this, our weddin' day Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin' Wait, wait along
I do not know what fate awaits me I only know I must be brave And I must face a man who hates me Or lie a coward, a craven coward Or lie a coward in my grave
Oh, to be torn 'tweenst love and duty Supposin' I lose my fair-haired beauty Look at that big hand move along Nearin' high noon
He made a vow while in state prison Vowed it would be my life or his, and I'm not afraid of death, but, oh What will I do if you leave me?
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin' You made that promise as a bride Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin' Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin' Now that I need you by my side
Wait along (wait along), wait along Wait along, wait along (Wait along, wait along, wait along, wait along)
I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows I believe that somewhere in the darkest night, a candle glows I believe for everyone who goes astray Someone will come to show the way I believe I believeI believe above the storm the smallest prayer Will still be heard I believe that someone in the great somewhere Hears every word Every time I hear a newborn baby cry Or touch a leaf Or see the sky Then I know why I believeEvery time I hear a newborn baby cry Or touch a leaf Or see the sky Then I know why I believe [Why I believe]
