lyrics

THE MINSTREL WHO SANG FOR THE QUEEN

She was like the dream you’re always chasing
She was like the golden break of day
The look of love you cannot keep from facing
The freedom of a dove that flies away

She was like the taste of love that lingers
She was like the glory of the sun
The secret thrill of intertwining fingers
The melting of two souls becoming one

And I was the minstrel
Who sang for the Queen
Who sang for her beauty eternal
And evergreen

She was like the clear, blue light of morning
She was like the softly falling snow
She could steal your heart without a warning
And when she did, she never let it go

And I was the minstrel
Who sang for the Queen
Who sang for her beauty eternal
And evergreen

And I was the minstrel
Who sang for the Queen
Who sang for her beauty eternal
And evergreen

And I was the minstrel
Who sang for the Queen
Who sang of her beauty
Eternal and ever…
Who sang of her beauty
Eternal and ever…
Evergreen
