The Song Lyrics

In An Old Country Hall Down An Old Country Lane,
That's Where I First Met Her And My Memories Remain,
As She Waltzed Round The Floor In Her Blue Satin Dress,
My Poor Heart Beat Faster With Her Every Step,

An Angel From Heaven A Star From Above,
But How Could I Tell Her I Was So Much In Love, 
So I Asked Her To Dance On That Saturday Night,
And That Was The Start Of The Rest of Our Lives,

And The Crystal Ball Flickered Upon Her Sweet Face,
And The Girl That I Longed For Was In My Embrace,
Oh Please Please Dont Wake Me From This Beautiful Dream,
In Your Arms I'm In Heaven My Darling Kathleen,

In An Old Country Church Down An Old Country Lane,
Our Families and Friends Gathered That Day,
I Have Nothing To Offer But This Small Band Of Gold,
And My Love Forever To Have And To Hold,

repeat chorus
But Today Our Friends Gathered In That Old Church Once More,
To Say Their Goodbye's To The Girl I Adore,
And If God Is To Grant Me Just One Dying Dream,
I'll Waltz Around Heaven With My Darling Kathleen
