Gilbert And Sullivan - Brightly dawns our wedding day lyrics

[YUM-YUM] Brightly dawns our wedding day; [ALL] Joyous hour, we give thee greeting! Whither, whither art thou fleeting? Fickle moment, prithee stay! Fickle moment, prithee stay! [PISH-TUSH] What though mortal joys be hollow? [PITTI-SING] Pleasures come, if sorrows follow! [YUM-YUM] Though the tocsin sound Ere long Though the tocsin sound Ere long Though the tocsin sound Ere long Ding dong! Ding dong! [NANKI-POO] Though the tocsin sound Ere long Ere long Though the tocsin Sound, ere long Sound, ere long Ding dong! Ding dong! [PITTI-SING & PISH-TUSH] Though the tocsin sound Ere long Ding Dong! Ding dong! Ding Dong! Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong! [ALL] Yet until the shadows fall Over one and over all [YUM-YUM] Sing a merry madrigal [ALL] Sing a merry madrigal Sing a merry madrigal Fa la la la la, etc (Ending in tears) [YUM-YUM] Let us dry the ready tear [ALL] Though the hours are surely creeping Little need for woeful weeping Till the sad sundown is near Till the sad sundown is near [PISH-TUSH] All must sip the cup of sorrow — [PITTI-SING] I to-day and thou to-morrow [YUM-YUM] This the close of Every song This the close of Every song This the close of Every song Ding dong! Ding dong! [NANKI-POO] This the close of Every Every song This the close of Every song This the close Ding dong! Ding dong! [PITTI-SING & PISH-TUSH] This the close of Every song Ding Dong! Ding dong! Ding Dong! Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong! [ALL] What, though solemn shadows fall Sooner, later, over all? [YUM-YUM] Sing a merry madrigal [ALL] Sing a merry madrigal Sing a merry madrigal Fa la la la la
