I wear a black
Jacket and vest
You're dream comes true
You are wearing white
You are beautiful as a memory
of a lingering dream
An august evening when
You are wearing white
Dance, you guests
and bring them roses
The old take this waltz too
Dance, you guests
now sing, drink
the wedding waltz in minor is playing
I put down my song
as a mourning veil for the feast
there is a mistake in this story
that bride is not mine
I dress up in all black
in night and ash
my dream cools down
when you wear white
Dance, you guests
and bring them roses
The old take this waltz too
Dance, you guests
now sing, drink
the wedding waltz in minor is playing
