Subject: RE: Tune Req: Wedding Song Needed
I second the "My Love is Like a Red Red Rose" idea. Better still, I can supply all the lyrics!

"My love is like a red, red rose That's newly sprung in June. My love is like a melodie, That's sweetly play'd in tune.

As fair art thou my bonny lass, So deep in love am I, And I will love thee still, my dear, Till all the seas gang dry.

Till all the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt with the sun. And I will love thee still, my dear, While the sands of life shall run.

And fare thee (the weel), my only love! And fare the well awhile! And I will come again, my love, Tho' it were ten thousand mile!"

The Fureys do a lovely version of this (features on the albumn "The Fureys Finest" among others). And finally, good luck for the big day and much happiness for the future! Drew
