She Moved Through The Fair Words And Chords In G Major
My (G) young love said to (D) Me
My (C) mother won't (D) mind
And my (C) father won't (D) slight you
For (G) your lack of (D) kind
And she (C) steped away fom (D) me
And (G) this she did (D) say
It (G) will not be (D) long love
Till (C) our wedding (D) day
She stepp'd away from me and she moved through the fair,
And fondly I watched her go here and go there,
Then she went her way homeward with one star awake,
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake.
The people were saying no two were e'er wed,
But one has a sorrow that never was said,
And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear,
And that was the last that I saw of my dear.
I dreamt it last night that my young love came in,
So softly she entered, her feet made no din,
She came close beside me and this she did say,
"It will not be long, love, till our wedding day."
My (G) young love said to (D) Me
My (C) mother won't (D) mind
And my (C) father won't (D) slight you
For (G) your lack of (D) kind
And she (C) steped away fom (D) me
And (G) this she did (D) say
It (G) will not be (D) long love
Till (C) our wedding (D) day
She stepp'd away from me and she moved through the fair,
And fondly I watched her go here and go there,
Then she went her way homeward with one star awake,
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake.
The people were saying no two were e'er wed,
But one has a sorrow that never was said,
And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear,
And that was the last that I saw of my dear.
I dreamt it last night that my young love came in,
So softly she entered, her feet made no din,
She came close beside me and this she did say,
"It will not be long, love, till our wedding day."

My Love At The Fair Song Lyrics
My love and I, we strolled the fair
Underneath the bright lights and cool night air
Holding hands, we laughed and played
Feeling young and free, no worries or dismay
Chorus:
Oh, my love at the town fair
With the ferris wheel spinning in the air
The cotton candy and the arcade games
It all fades away when I hear your name
Verse 2:
We won a goldfish, took a hayride
A perfect picture, my love by my side
As the sun sets, the music plays
Our hearts beat in sync, a magical phase
Chorus:
Oh, my love at the town fair
With the ferris wheel spinning in the air
The cotton candy and the arcade games
It all fades away when I hear your name
Bridge:
The lights, the sounds, the smell of fried dough
But nothing compares to your love, I know
In this moment, time stands still
My love at the fair, my heart you fill
Chorus:
Oh, my love at the town fair
With the ferris wheel spinning in the air
The cotton candy and the arcade games
It all fades away when I hear your name
Outro:
My love, let's make this a tradition
Our own special fair, our own rendition
With each passing year, our love will grow
At the town fair, our hearts will always glow.
My love and I, we strolled the fair
Underneath the bright lights and cool night air
Holding hands, we laughed and played
Feeling young and free, no worries or dismay
Chorus:
Oh, my love at the town fair
With the ferris wheel spinning in the air
The cotton candy and the arcade games
It all fades away when I hear your name
Verse 2:
We won a goldfish, took a hayride
A perfect picture, my love by my side
As the sun sets, the music plays
Our hearts beat in sync, a magical phase
Chorus:
Oh, my love at the town fair
With the ferris wheel spinning in the air
The cotton candy and the arcade games
It all fades away when I hear your name
Bridge:
The lights, the sounds, the smell of fried dough
But nothing compares to your love, I know
In this moment, time stands still
My love at the fair, my heart you fill
Chorus:
Oh, my love at the town fair
With the ferris wheel spinning in the air
The cotton candy and the arcade games
It all fades away when I hear your name
Outro:
My love, let's make this a tradition
Our own special fair, our own rendition
With each passing year, our love will grow
At the town fair, our hearts will always glow.
