She Moved Through the Fair

[Verse 1]
My young love said to me
"My mother won’t mind"
"And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind"
And she stepped away from me
And this she did say

[Chorus]
It will not be long, love
'Til our wedding day

[Verse 2]
She stepped away from me
And she moved through the fair
And fondly (Fondly)
I watched her
Move here and move there
And then she went homeward, with one star awake
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake

[Bridge]
Last night she came to me
She came softly
So softly she came that her feet made no din
And she laid her hand on me
And this she did say

[Chorus]
It will not be long, love
'Til our wedding day
