Fairest of Them All

 

She had good times 'til he came and stole her heart

She was the freest of them all 'til he came and stole her heart

I'll always remember every song they played that night

how the people were laughing and dancing

how the stars were shining bright

 

and the dress she wore that night

was the fairest of them all

and her hair was smooth as silk

and the colour of the fall

oh time will never erase her smile

though she's gone for a while

 

The friends who ones knew her 

say the sweetest thing is gone

They sat that the sun has fallen down 

but still we have to carry on

 

I'll always remember

how he came and took her hand

as he offered her flowers and wine

as they walked off in the sand

 

and the dress she wore that night

was the fairest of them all

and her hair was smooth as silk

and the colour of the fall

oh time will never erase her smile

though she's gone for a while

 

Though they say she's been spotted in town

near the street she used to stay

They say she looks withered and pale

and her eyes have turned to grey

I say no, that ain't her

no, it can't be her

Tell me, tell me, tell me,

please, that isn't you

that simply ain't you

 

'Cause the dress you wore that night

was the fairest of them all

and your hair was smooth as silk

and the colour of the fall

oh time will never erase your smile

Though you're gone for a while

Though you're gone for a while

Though you're gone for a while

Though you're gone for a while
