She Was The Prize

I've lived a long life
        D
And now I'm looking back
         G7         C
It's the end of the road
         D
The last stop on the track
      G7         C
And I smile as I think 
      D
Of my true love once more
    G7          C        D
The light of my life the one I adore

She...she was the prize
G7        C             D
Prettiest girl with the loveliest eyes
G7 D  C           D
She...she was the prize
G7          C              D             G            G7
Shiny black hair and those lovely, those lovely brown eyes

I met her one night
At the harvest fair dance
I longed for a whisper
I hoped for a glance
Then she turned and she smiled
And I melted away
And I knew I'd be with her til my dying day

Refrão

We lay on the cliffs and we walked hand in hand
We threw stones in the waves
We drew hearts in the sand
Without warning clouds rolled in and darkened the sun
And when they rolled out
My light she was gone

Refrão

Now I've shed all my tears
And I've said my goodbyes
Now I'll lay myself down
Where my pretty girl lies
And when I awake I'll be on earth no more
I'll be dancin' a jig with the girl I adore
