Lyrics Judy Collins – Wedding Song For Louis
Text:
The night before our wedding I dreamed of falling stars
And all the souls that I have loved came bending to my window
A galaxy of wishes as far as I could see
I thanked the Gods and Goddesses for bringing you to me
You are a gift to me, freely given out of heaven
Nothing I did before could have earned your love
Somewhere a prayer was heard someone must have seen me kneeling
And you were there for me, my own true love.
I was a gypsy soul when you found me in the darkness
Chasing the shadow ghosts through the distant past
I saw you wore no mask and your armor was of moonlight
When I embraced you love I was free at last
And its time to celebrate our wedding
After all these many years
To celebrate our lives together
I’ll marry you for love
I’ll marry you for laughter
I’ll marry you ever after
Troubadours sing of love and they speak of consolation
Cupid and Venus smile when the arrow flies
There is the pain of love, when a wounded heart is broken
There is the peace that comes when its really love
Its time to celebrate our wedding
After all these many years
To celebrate out time together
I’ll marry you for love
I’ll marry you for laughter
I’ll marry you ever after
The night before I met you I dreamed that I was lost
And all the demons I had known came bending to my window
But when I fell in love with you my heartache turned to yearning
Once more the comet flies after eighteen thousand spring times
Over our ancient vows like a shining pearl
Sorrow may come again but the joy will keep returning
Love can do anything love can change the world
Its time to celebrate our wedding
After all these many years
To celebrate our lives together
I’ll marry you for love
I’ll marry you for laughter
I’ll marry you ever after
