Bonnie lass in the tender grass
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Bonnie bonnie lass
Sweet as a sun ray ever was
Dancing in the tender grass
Dreaming of a lover from the past
The feeling seemed to last
Until the clouds began to bloom
And the voices sung away her man
Til the angels swept him away again
My bonnie bonnie lass
Oh what a beauty ever has
Was her upon a Sunday mass
Tears rolling from her burdened eyes
The only love she'd ever have
To worship each and every day
And the gentle words he'd always said
Each kiss a new root how to pray
Bonnie bonnie lass
Sweet as a sun ray ever was
Dancing in the tender grass
Dreaming of a lover from the past
