I dress in black
coat and vest
Your dream is coming true
you dress in white
You're beautiful as a memory
of the lingering dream
August night when
you dress in white
Dance, you guests
and bring roses
when even elderly man bends on the waltz
Dance, you guests
now sing, drink
The wedding waltz is resounding in minor
I lower my songs
mourning veil for the feast
There will be left a mistake on the story
that bride isn't mine
I dress in black
in the night and ash
My dreams are cooled
when you dress in white
Dance, you guests
and bring roses
when even elderly man bends on the waltz
Dance, you guests
now sing, drink
The wedding waltz is resounding in minor
