Intro: D G D G D G D
D A G D
In a country churchyard there's a preacher with his people,
G D Em7 A
gathered all around to join a man and woman,
D A G D
spring is here and turtledoves are singing from the steeple,
G D Em7 A
bees are in the flowers, growing in the graveyard,
F#m Bm G A D
and over the hill, where the river meets the mill,
G D Em A D G D G
a lovely girl is coming down, to give her hand upon her wedding day ...
D A G D
Dressed in simple white and wearing flowers in her hair,
G D Em7 A
music as she walks slowly to the altar,
D A G D
and picking up his bible then the preacher turns towards her,
G D Em7 A
"Will you take this man to be your wedded husband,
F#m Bm G A D
to honour and love in the eyes of God above,
G D Em A D G D G
Now let the people sing with me, these words to live forever in your heart...
G A Bm F#m G D
Let your lo - ve shine on,
Bm F#m G
for we are the stars in the sky,
G A Bm F#m G D
Let your lo - ve shine strong,
G A G D G D G
until the day you fly ..."
D A G D
Many years have fallen on that golden country morning,
G D Em7 A
the graveyard's overgrown, the church lies in ruins,
D A G D
Ivy on the walls and ravens wheeling round above me,
G D Em7 A
as I made my way towards the last remaining headstone,
F#m Bm G A D
I fell to my knees, read the lines beneath the leaves,
G D Em A D G D G
and suddenly it seemed to me, I heard the words like singing in the trees...
G A Bm F#m G D
Let your lo - ve shine on,
Bm F#m G
for we are the stars in the sky,
G A Bm F#m G D
Let your lo - ve shine strong,
G A G
until the day you fly,
G A Bm F#m G D
Let your lo - ve shine on,
Bm F#m G
for we are the stars in the sky,
G A Bm F#m G D
Let your lo - ve shine strong,
G A G D G D G
until the day you fly - away ..."
