[Intro]
[Verse]
She was standing there, at the country fair
Sun was on her hair, I could only stare
From the moment when I saw her dancing
Well, I knew she had to be my bride
[Verse]
It was summertime, I was feeling fine
Would she join the line? I took her hand in mine
From the moment when we danced together there
I knew she was to be my bride
[Chorus]
We danced in the sun together
Danced in the rain together
Danced when the other folk had gone upon their way
She danced into my heart in such a pretty way
I knew she had to be my bride
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
While the music played, dancing through the day
We d so much to say, time just slipped away
From the moment when I saw her dancing
Well, I knew she had to be my bride
[Verse]
She made my courage free, I sat her on my knee
Made a lover s plea, would she marry me?
From the moment when we danced together then
I knew she had to be my bride
[Chorus]
We danced in the sun together
Danced in the rain together
Danced when the other folk had gone upon their way
She danced into my heart in such a pretty way
I knew she had to be my bride
[Bridge]
Ma-de-leine, the fairest girl I ve ever seen
Ma-de-leine, you know what you mean to me
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
When she danced with me, I was full of glee
We could happily, as a family
From the moment when I saw her dancing
Then I knew she was to be my bride
[Verse]
Came the wedding day, people bright and gay
Music gently played, as our vows we made
From the moment when we danced together then
I knew she had to be my bride
[Chorus]
We danced in the sun together
Danced in the rain together
Danced when the other folk had gone upon their way
She danced into my heart in such a pretty way
I knew she had to be my bride
[Bridge]
Ma-de-leine, the fairest girl I ve ever seen
Ma-de-leine, you know what you mean to me
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
She was standing there, at the country fair
Sun was on her hair, I could only stare
From the moment when I saw her dancing
Well, I knew she was to be my bride
[Chorus]
We danced in the sun together
Danced in the rain together
Danced when the other folk had gone upon their way
She danced into my heart in such a pretty way
I knew she had to be my bride
[Bridge]
Ma-de-leine, the fairest girl I ve ever seen
Ma-de-leine, you know what you mean to me
