Lady I love thee Once sang all the minstrels On the greenbanks and meadows In high-windowed halls Nowadays the styles changed It's not the done thing Call me old-fashioned But I'll still sing... Lady I love thee And fill your heart gladly With sweet music and laughter Blue skies and gold rings Moon on the river strange sails in the bay Lady I'll love thee forever my way
Lady I love thee Your white knight I would be Who saves you from dragons Who wakes you from spells Long may the world stand On my welcome mat Its baggage unopened While I'm sure that Lady together From sunrise to sunset Your star's bright in my night Your heart's close to mine Moon on the river strange sails in the bay Lady I'll love thee no more can I say...
