Heather Dale - May Queen lyrics

I went to meet her for a friend, a beloved friend Who knew he couldn't be there and knew someone should be We love each other, he and I--a brother's love, he'd say So who else would he send to bring his bride that day? They said she's lovely as the spring. Imagine my surprise To find that they were right and hadn't said the half The careless sunlight in her eyes, the petals in her hair I saw how he could love her, the May Queen standing there And in that moment I understood how he could love her And what they shared could never be for me I understood, but yet I've never really conquered That part inside that wishes it had been me And I was staring at the sun for hours the morning after Trying to burn it from my eyes He's never been what I can't help but see when he is with her And so of course I wished them joy--else what friend would I be? And in that moment I understood how he could love her And what they shared would never be for me I understood, but yet I've never really conquered That part inside that wishes it had been me
