madeleine

Lyrics

she was standing there, at the country fair, sun was on her hair, i could only stare, from the moment when i saw her dancing, well, i knew she had to be my bride, it was summertime, i was feeling fine, would she join the line? i took her hand in mine, from the moment when we danced together there, i knew she was to be my bride, we danced in the sun together, danced in the rain together, danced when the other folk had gone upon their way, she danced into my heart in such a pretty way, i knew she had to be my bride, while the music played, dancing through the day, we'd so much to say, time just slipped away, from the moment when i saw her dancing, well, i knew she had to be my bride, she made my courage free, i sat her on my knee, made a lover's plea, would she marry me?, from the moment when we danced together then, i knew she had to be my bride, we danced in the sun together, danced in the rain together, danced when the other folk had gone upon their way, she danced into my heart in such a pretty way, i knew she had to be my bride, madeleine, the fairest girl i've ever seen, madeleine, you know what you mean to me, when she danced with me, i was full of glee, we could happily, as a family, from the moment when i saw her dancing, then i knew she was to be my bride, came the wedding day, people bright and gay, music gently played, as our vows we made, from the moment when we danced together then, i knew she had to be my bride, we danced in the sun together, danced in the rain together, danced when the other folk had gone upon their way, she danced into my heart in such a pretty way, i knew she had to be my bride, madeleine, the fairest girl i've ever seen, madeleine, you know what you mean to me, she was standing there, at the country fair, sun was on her hair, i could only stare, from the moment when i saw her dancing, well, i knew she was to be my bride, we danced in the sun together, danced in the rain together, danced when the other folk had gone upon their way, she danced into my heart in such a pretty way, i knew she had to be my bride, madeleine, the fairest girl i've ever seen, madeleine, you know what you mean to me
