May the earth be soft beneath your feet May the air you breathe be sweet And I cannot rest my love on a vacant heart So I pray, my love, my dear, that you will speak Sweet May the stars rest low above your head May their light cast out where you might dread May the whispering winds carry words so soft and sweet From me, my love, my sweet And I think that you are the most beautiful thing that I have seen In years, the years The years move on, our hearts beat soft The years, the years The years move on, our hearts beat softly And I think that you are the most beautiful thing that I have seen In years, the years The years move on, our hearts beat soft The years, the years The years move on, our hearts beat soft May the sun move slow to warm you, dear May its rays dry up your tears May the waking dawn bring the love you seek May your heart be strong my love my sweet
