Through a market, I wandered and prayed
That I'd find me a woman I might marry some day
Well, I never dreamed when I prayed that prayer
That the woman I longed for was standing there
When she held me in her arms that night
I held her close, and I held her tight
And I swore that day forth, I'd love her all of me life
When she held me in her arms that night
She smelled of the sweetеst lilac skin
And I admit it now it drew me in
Oh, her voicе cast a spell I could not disobey
Every word was a river that swept me away
Oh, the market became a more beautiful place:
The flowers more fragrant, and the clothing all lace
And her eyes, oh, her eyes! They begged me to stay
And twenty years later, I've not regretted a day
That I'd find me a woman I might marry some day
Well, I never dreamed when I prayed that prayer
That the woman I longed for was standing there
When she held me in her arms that night
I held her close, and I held her tight
And I swore that day forth, I'd love her all of me life
When she held me in her arms that night
She smelled of the sweetеst lilac skin
And I admit it now it drew me in
Oh, her voicе cast a spell I could not disobey
Every word was a river that swept me away
Oh, the market became a more beautiful place:
The flowers more fragrant, and the clothing all lace
And her eyes, oh, her eyes! They begged me to stay
And twenty years later, I've not regretted a day
