Paul Gordon - In the Light of the Virgin Morning lyrics

BLANCHE In the light of the virgin morning I look out through a misty haze The estate has an ancient beauty Mother must appraise As I stroll through the pinks and roses As I savour the columbine I am grateful for all he is And what will one day all be mine The perfect plan If only I could love the man But I'm not quite sure I can JANE In the light of the virgin morning In the shade of the chestnut tree If I leave this unhappy bliss Where will my Eden be? For I'll miss this enchanted garden Watching leaves as they turn to brown BLANCHE We will sell the estate, of course And we will move to town JANE This is my fateWhat more do I deserve? I mustn't stay What purpose would it serve? He doesn't need meHis heart is blinded Where will I go? What star will light my way? This is my home, oh God above I pray The rock of ages will show me mercyIn the light of the virgin morning BLANCHE We'll be admired and praisedI'll know what happiness is When I am hisI'll be the star in his night And I will shine As a bride By his side JANE In the light of the virgin morningI am cursed in my hope of heaven For I know I will always love him BLANCHE In the light of the virgin morningI am blessed in my hope of heaven For I know I will come to love him
