the Veil

Eugenie loves Napoleon forever

With a love that will not fail.

You can see it in her eyes,

You can feel the family ties

When he finally sees her in her veil.

When he finally sees her in her veil.

 

Chorus:

 

In her veil

In her veil

When he finally sees her in her veil.

They’ll be standing side by side

When he takes her as his bride

She’ll be his when he see’s her in her veil.

She’ll be his when he see’s her in her veil.

 

It’s just lace that’s been passed down through the ages

It’s been woven with a love that perseveres.

There are stories in this cloth

There are memories we’ve not lost

It’s been touched by those we hold dear.

 

Chorus

 

When we stand before one another

Like the ones who have loved and gone before.

I will slowly lift that lace

To reveal my smiling face

And give thanks for the one that I adore.

I give thanks for the one that I adore.

 

Chorus & Out
