Sarah Brightman - He moved through the fair

My young love said to me
My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kind
And he went away from me
And this he did say
It will not be long now
Till our wedding day
It will not be long now
Till our wedding day
It will not be long now
Till our wedding day

Music and lyrics: traditional, arranged by ...

Sarah Brightman sings this song on Eden -- the single (released 1999).
The song was later also released on the Fly II special edition (2000). And it is released on the Japanese version of A Winter Symphony (2008).

Source of the lyrics: written down by me.
With special thanks to Becky Wilson.

Note the spelling of the first two words of the title! It is "he" and "moved", whereas versions of other people have "she" and/or "moves".

Sarah, by the way, sings only a very short version of this traditional song.
