Chris de Burgh - In a Country Churchyard
 Lossless
375,143 Views • May 2, 2011 • Click to toggle off description
A video for the lyrics of "In a Country Churchyard", third song on the compilation album "Best Moves" by Chris de Burgh. These are the correct lyrics, considering the fact I've taken them from the booklet that comes with the CD. But typos from my side are always possible, of course.

Disclaimer: I do not own the music or the lyrics. I just put the both together.

Lyrics:

In a country churchyard there's a Preacher with his people,
Gathered all around to join a man and a woman,
Spring is here and turtledoves are singing from the steeple,
Bees are in the flowers, growing in the graveyard,
And over the hill, where the river meets the mill,
A lovely girl is coming down,
To give her hand upon her wedding day...

Dressed in simple white and wearing flowers in her hair,
Music as she walks slowly to the altar,
And picking up his Bible then the Preacher turns towards her,
"Will you take this man to be your wedded husband,
To honour and love in the eyes of God above,
Now let the people sing with me,
These words to live forever in your heart...

Let your love shine on,
For we are the stars in the sky,
Let your love shine strong,
Until the day you fly away."

Many years have fallen on that golden country morning,
The graveyard's overgrown, the church it lies in ruins,
Ivy on the walls and ravens wheeling round above me,
As I made my way towards the last remaining headstone,
I fell to my knees, read the lines beneath the leaves,
And suddenly it seemed to me,
I heard the words like the singing in the trees...

Let your love shine on,
For we are the stars in the sky,
Let your love shine strong,
Until the day you fly away...

My wife and I loved this song, along with several of Chris's songs, when we met in 1986. Unfortunately the love of my life died in February 2021 and I listen to this song and it makes me sad but also brings back memories of special times spent together.

First heard this song in the 80’s at Uni and it became the inspiration for my wedding to ‘wifey’ 2012. In a 12th century chapel in a small cheshire village….

This was sang at our wedding. Makes me cry still 10 years later. Even just the air of it is beautiful.

This beautiful and emotional song reminds me of Gray's Elegy in a Country Churchyard, another evocative piece. Chris De Burgh has always been a master lyricist.
