Wedding Gown Lyrics

In the light of rising Spring

I watched her sway on the garden swing

Recalled how her coming took my wife

Out of darkness she brought the light

And like a blind man given sight

I could finally see the meaning of life

She used to play in her wedding gown

Cast mother's shadow on the ground

My little princess for her I'd die

Bloomed into a beautiful rose

In the summer sun she glowed

Then darkness returned with a boy who called me sir

He walked in first left her standing there

Asked for her hand and I gasped for air

But he called me Sir, called me Sir

She always dreamt of a wedding gown

A handsome prince and a sparkling crown

But the Devil often hides in the light

How do we protect who we love most

From those who choose to walk like ghosts

Moving through this world testing fathers' fears

And we know if we say no

Our kids will laugh before they go

Leaving us to question how we live with ourselves

She always wanted a wedding gown

It became her funeral shroud

Nothing I said could have turned it around

She'd given all for no return

Been his fool with her back turned

He was running circles round their town

Now he could run no more

Men like that run out of floor

When their castles of sand fall to the ground

She used to play in a wedding gown

Cast angel shadows across the ground

She lost her life to a hand me down

She always dreamt of that wedding gown

A handsome prince and a sparkling crown

Followed mother's footsteps in her wedding gown

Wedding gown

Wedding gown
