Fairest of Them All

She had good times 'til he came and stole her heart
She was the freest of them all 'til he came and stole her heart
I'll always remember every song they played that night
how the people were laughing and dancing
how the stars were shining bright

and the dress she wore that night
was the fairest of them all
and her hair was smooth as silk
and the colour of the fall
oh time will never erase her smile
though she's gone for a while

The friends who ones knew her
say the sweetest thing is gone
They sat that the sun has fallen down
but still we have to carry on

I'll always remember
how he came and took her hand
as he offered her flowers and wine
as they walked off in the sand

and the dress she wore that night
was the fairest of them all
and her hair was smooth as silk
and the colour of the fall
oh time will never erase her smile
though she's gone for a while

Though they say she's been spotted in town
near the street she used to stay
They say she looks withered and pale
and her eyes have turned to grey
I say no, that ain't her
no, it can't be her
Tell me, tell me, tell me,
please, that isn't you
that simply ain't you

'Cause the dress you wore that night
was the fairest of them all
and your hair was smooth as silk
and the colour of the fall
oh time will never erase your smile
Though you're gone for a while
Though you're gone for a while
Though you're gone for a while
Though you're gone for a while
