Madeleine

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
