A song I wrote as a wedding gift to two friends. I was delighted that they chose it for their 1st dance as Husband and Wife.
lyrics
The Ballad of Simon and Ann-Marie
Here we are it’s August the Thirty-First
Filled with tension and excitement, we’re fit to burst
Grab a few cans and get on the bus
Hoping the driver hasn’t got us sussed
Yeah it’s here at last and it ain’t no foolin'
Everyone’s rocking down to Doolin
Get to Galway and stop for a bite
And we swear even from here we can hear the bells chime
We’ve our best clothes on and I hear someone say
‘I can’t believe that today’s the day’
Yeah it’s here at last and it ain’t no foolin'
Everyone’s rocking down to Doolin
And there they are, Simon and Ann-Marie
All dressed up in their finery
And the bridesmaids are looking good to me
All dolled up like Xmas trees
And we’ve made it to the church, yeah we’re finally here
We’ll see smiles and we’ll see tears
When Simon first met Ann-Marie
Someone said they saw them in a tree
And they were K.I.S.S.I.N.G
And whatever else comes naturally
Now they’re husband and wife, they ain’t foolin’
And it all happened right here in Doolin
