Collins, Judy - Wedding Song For Holly Lyrics






With ribbon of silk and a rainbow of light
With an old fashioned tune so familiar and right
With the planets that turn in eternity's flight
We will dance at your wedding tonight.

Holly Ann, Holly Ann, beautiful bride.
Harvey, your groom, there by your side.
May the rivers you cross be as joyful as wide
And we'll dance at your wedding tonight.

With the Columbine blooms in diamonds of dew,
With something that's old, and something that's new,
With the memory of childhood that calls after you.
We will dance at your wedding tonight.

Holly Ann, Holly Ann, sister of mine.
Harvey, your love, with you entwined.
May you always be joined in spirit and mind.
And we'll dance at your wedding tonight.

Yesterday's sun was eclipsed by the moon.
And today the sunlight beams.
So may your shadows pass in a day.
May you not forget your dreams
With the sunlight that shines and the rivers that bend,
With the seasons returning again and again,
With the primrose, the swallow, the lark, and the wren,
We will dance at your wedding tonight.

Holly Ann, Holly Ann, beautiful bride.
Harvey, your groom, there by your side.
May the rivers you cross be as joyful as wide.
May the Gods and the Goddesses be on your side.
May you always be joyous in spirit and mind.
And we'll dance at your wedding tonight.

Collins, Judy Wedding Song For Holly Comments
  1. S.... K....

    “She is my sister; the baby born when I was older”
    Tears every time

  2. E.... B....

    This is a truly beautiful song. I always liked Judy Collins' music, but the reason I actually know this one is that a friend of mine has performed it in New York City.

  3. Z.... ....

    From my very tiny salary as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the University of Florida, this is one of the few albums I purchased in 1975. A favorite still.

  4. p.... ....

    I remember hearing this in a booth in a record shop, 'one stop' in london in 1973, and as good as it is, my memory is of how things had changed for the worse since the late 60s, and that records like this were getting rarer to find.

  5. p.... ....

    thank's very much for this, I havent heard it for a long while

  6. J.... S....

    How I love this woman.

  7. c.... ....

    I'm glad you enjoyed it! Judy is inspiring!

  8. x.... ....

    I think I must have heard this when I was young - sounds very, very familiar. Thanks for uploading AND for that beautiful morning shot of the Golden Gate Bridge. I'm from the wine country...the sight of the bridge is always wonderfully, beautifully heart-wrenching when I return to visit. No place like home!

  9. C.... ....

    Well I have been a member of her fan Club for years. Good idea. I had rather write her at " Wildflowers " in New-York.
    Great thanks &
    Best wishes
