Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We vowed our true love, though a word wasn't said
The world was in bloom, there were stars in the skies
Except for a few that were there in your eyes
Dear, as I held you close in my arms
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Two hearts gently beating, were murmuring low
"My darling, I love you so"

Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed
On the night of our wedding, we joyously danced together
We vowed our true love, though a word wasn't said
We pledged eternal love to each other non-verbally
The world was in bloom, there were stars in the skies
Nature was at its best, with a starry night sky
Except for a few that were there in your eyes
Except for the stars that shone in your beautiful eyes
Dear, as I held you close in my arms
Darling, holding you close to my heart was blissful
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
The angels were enamored by your enchanting beauty
Two hearts gently beating, were murmuring low
Our two hearts were beating softly and in sync
"My darling, I love you so"
"Beloved, I cherish you deeply and unconditionally"

La canzone di apertura delle danze nei matrimoni della mia città tra la fine degli anni '40 e meta anni '50. Bellissimi momenti di preziosi ricordi.
