Fairport Convention - White Dress Lyrics
Feel how the wind blows, December despair
Bring me a ribbon to tie up my hair
I'll be your bride, go where you go
All of my life, you'll be my beau
Put on the white dress
If you'll take me dancing tonight
The night's in your face, sky's in your eyes
The day's in my arms when you're by my side
Whenever you're weary I'll sing you a song
Whenever you're lonely I'll show you you're wrong
Kiss me and I might
Put on the white dress
Come from the window, let's climb the stairs
All of my sorrows are none of your cares
While life is in us, let's love all we can
I'll be your woman if you'll be my man
Kiss me and I might
Put on the white dress
If you'll take me dancing tonight

Fairport Convention White Dress Comments
Last time I saw sandy denny was during the 'Rising for the Moon' tour. Bristol Poly December 74.
Janis Ian has recorded songs like this one. She can sing the same way as Sandy Denny.
You probably mean "magisterial," but, no, it's not. Why are Fairport fans such numpties?
God, I love this.
Masterpiece , etherial song for next 10000 years.
Thanks once again Max!
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Written by Dave Swarbrick. Ralph McTell adopted the words (with Swarb's permission) so he could sing it from a male perspective.

Tanks for posting
All because the world gets con by phony pop music-as Sandy said she does not deal in "phony music". Her songs are like water flowing under a bridge; "men come, men go but I will flow on forever". How truer than true!
Perfect.
Brings tears to my eyes. I was introduced to airport convention when I was a teen. Never stopped listening, love them to this day.
Utter joy!! RIP Swarb and Sandy. Thanks for the music!
As perennial as grass...beautiful, love you Sandy X.
This theory is around that Sandy was in decline by this time, just listen and you can hear the opposite is true.
Sandy NEVER will decline
Just brings tears to my eyes. The most beautiful song ever. Sandy at her best - And thank you Swarb and Rest in Peace fiddler supreme.
Plug for Carol Laula's version of this, more of a piano ballad than a folk song in her hands, but captivating. Truly beautiful tune, one of the greats.
Rest in Peace, Swarb, and thank you for all the great music.
Gotta wonder why one of the most beautiful and beautifully sung songs ever recorded has so few listens.
Andy Peace Because great rewarding art sometimes has to be earned.! And few are willing to commit, explore and broaden their horizons !!!
I so love this.
Take your partners for the slow dance....:-)
If you'll take me dancing tonight
Swarbrick wrote it about Sandy. He fancied her like mad. Who didn't !
One of the most beautiful songs ever! ties as my favorite song by Sandy.
A hauntingly beautifull song ,reminds us all of long lost loves that never where.
@vrandar Nice one (-: is a video available? ( I have muffed the words once or twice live i.e. I might put on the white Dresss" whoops
Oh Sandy!
So great! And well done for you for getting it by yt's copyright crap!
have done my own version of this and changed a number of the words cos....Im a bloke !! Wonderfull song
No need to comment. It says it all.
