Various Artists Bridal Ballad lyrics

The ring is on my hand
And the wreath is on my brow
Satin jewels grand
Are all at my command
And I am happy now

And my Lord, he loves me well
But, when first he breathed his vow
I felt my bosom swell
For the words rang as a knell
And the voice seemed his who fell
In the battle down the dell
And who is happy now

But he spoke to reassure me
And he kissed my pallid brow
While a reverie came over me
And to the churchyard, bore me
And I sighed to him before me
Thinking him dead D'Elormie

"Oh, I am happy now"

And I am happy now

And thus the words were spoken
And this the plighted vow
And though my faith be broken
And though my heart be broken
Here is a ring as token
That I am happy now

Would God I could awaken
For dream I know not how
And my soul is sorely shaken
Lest an evil step be taken
Lest the dead who is forsaken
May not be happy now
