She had the grace of a dancer, pretty as the morning sun,
Am F G
Her days were filled with laughter, and when sixteen years had come,
Am F E7 Am
She went to work in the old house, and there she met her love,
F C F G
But he, the son, was high-born, and she, a village girl;
Am F G C
They met at night by the river, and there he pledged his love,
Am F G
And so it was for the summer, but by winter, all was done,
Am F E7 Am
For the word was out in the village that she would have his child,
F C F G
And the night before she left him, these words were in his heart,
C F G
When she said, "Love is all that we have, it is forever,
C F G
Love is all that we need, to be together,
C Am F G
C
Love is all that this world has to share, only love
C G
Can take us there;"
Am F G C
They found her clothes by the river, of her there was no trace,
Am F G
And for many years he mourned her, haunted by her face,
Am F E7 Am
So he set off over the ocean, these memories to escape,
F C
But the ship he sailed was ill-starred,
F G
and soon would meet its fate;

Am F G C
They struck the rocks at midnight, in the grip of a roaring storm,
Am F G
And he found himself in the water with a woman and a boy,
Am F E7
Am
With a power that was more than human, he brought them to the shore,
F C F G
And her whisper in the darkness was a voice he'd heard before,
C F G
When she'd said, "Love is all that we have, it is forever,
C F G
Love is all that we need, to be together,
C Am F G
Love is all that this world has to share,
F C G
Only love can take us there;
| C C C C | F F F

F C G
Only love
Am F G C
She had the grace of a dancer, and the father of her son.
