velvet i can wish you
for the collar of your coat
and fortune smiling all along the way
but more i cannot wish you
than to wish you find your love
your own true love this day
mansions i can wish you
seven footmen all in red
and calling cards upon a silver tray
but more i cannot wish you
than to wish you find your love
your own true love this day
standing there, gazing at you
full of the bloom of youth
standing there, gazing at you
with the sheep's eye and the liquorice tooth
and music i can wish you
merry music while you're young
and wisdom when your hair has turned to gray
but more i cannot wish you
than to wish you find your love
your own true love this day
and strong arms to carry you away
strong arms to carry you away
