Lyrics[]

While the Angelus was ringing, calling for the evening pray'r,
I could hear the choir singing and I saw you standing there.
Silently I stood beside you, how my heart was beating then,
For my dreams have all come true, I was safely back with you,
Never more to roam again.
Then the great cathedral spire seemed to come alive and say
Through the voices of the choir, there will be a wedding day.
Then a golden ray of sunlight, from a window in the sky,
Shone upon us from above, heaven's blessing on our love,
Now our love will never die.

Then a golden ray of sunlight, from a window in the sky,
Shone upon us from above, heaven's blessing on our love,
Now our love will never die.
