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

Kiss me and I might
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
If you'll take me dancing tonight

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

    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!

  14. T.... Z....

    Perfect.

  15. K.... M....

    Brings tears to my eyes. I was introduced to airport convention when I was a teen. Never stopped listening, love them to this day.

  16. L.... T....

    Utter joy!! RIP Swarb and Sandy. Thanks for the music!

  17. M.... ....

    As perennial as grass...beautiful, love you Sandy X.

  18. R.... D....

    This theory is around that Sandy was in decline by this time, just listen and you can hear the opposite is true.

    R.... D....

    Sandy NEVER will decline

  19. N.... T....

    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.

  20. M.... ....

    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.

  21. T.... H....

    Rest in Peace, Swarb, and thank you for all the great music.

  22. A.... P....

    Gotta wonder why one of the most beautiful and beautifully sung songs ever recorded has so few listens.

    A.... P....

    Andy Peace Because great rewarding art sometimes has to be earned.! And few are willing to commit, explore and broaden their horizons !!!

  23. e.... ....

    I so love this.

  24. A.... C....

    Take your partners for the slow dance....:-)

  25. N.... B....

    If you'll take me dancing tonight

  26. T.... ....

  27. C.... M....

    One of the most beautiful songs ever! ties as my favorite song by Sandy.

  28. D.... D....

    A hauntingly beautifull song ,reminds us all of long lost loves that never where.
