Thread Name: Help: Irish wedding song
Subject: Lyr/Tune Add: THE IRISH WEDDING SONG
Hi,
I am trying to find either a recording or sheet music of this particular song I found on the net. I can't get my computer to convert the ABC notation given. I haven't had much luck so far, can someone help me? I really want to play it at my wedding. I've copied the words and ABC notation here:
THE IRISH WEDDING SONG (Ian Betteridge)
Here they stand hand in hand they've exchanged wedding bands Today is the day of their dreams and their plans, and all we who love them just wanted to say. May God bless this couple who married today
In good times and bad times in sickness and health may they know that riches are not needed for wealth and help them face problems they'll meet on their way Oh god bless this couple who married today
May they find peace of mind comes to all who are kind May the rough times ahead become triumphs in time May their children be happy each day Oh God bless this family who started today
As they go may they know every love that was shown And as life it gets shorter may their feelings grow Wherever they travel wherever they stay May God bless this couple who married today
-----Ian Betteridge
