Here you are, Eric, courtesy of a friend's CD.


WHITE DRESS
(Swarbrick/McTell)

Feel how the wind blows, December despair.
Bring me a ribbon to tie back your hair.
You stayed by my side, you've gone where I've gone.
Don't cling to the past, love, while time's moving on.

CHORUS: Come and kiss me; it's gonna be all right.
Put on your white dress and I'll take you dancing tonight

All of my sorrows are none of your cares.
Come from the window; tread soft on the stairs.
While life is in us, let's love all we can.
If you'll be my woman then I'll be your man. CHORUS

And if you get weary, I'll sing you this song.
And if you feel lonely, I'll show you you're wrong.
The night's in your face, the sky's in your eyes
And the morning's before us; lets dance 'til sunrise. CHORUS


As sung by Ralph McTell on 'A collection of his love songs' CD
