In A Country Churchyard Words & Music: Chris De Burgh [Intro] [Verse 1] In a country churchyard there’s a preacher with his people gathered all around to join a man and woman. Spring is here and turtle doves are singing from the steeple bees are in the flowers growing in the graveyard and over the hill where the river meets the mill a lovely girl is coming down to give her hand up on her wedding day. [Verse 2] Dressed in simple white and wearing flowers in her hair music as she walks slowly to the altar. Picking up his bible then the preacher turns towards her. "Will you take this man to be your wedded husband to honour and love in the eyes of god above. Now let the peoble sing with me these words to live forever in your heart." [Chorus] Let your love shine on for we are the stars in the sky. Let your love shine strong until the day you fly. [Verse 3] Many years have fallen on that golden country morning graveyards overgrown the church lies in ruins. Ivy on the walls and ravens wheeling high above me as I make my way towards the last remaining headstone I fell to my knees read the lines beneath the leaves and suddenly it seemed to me I heard the words like singing in the trees. [Chorus] Let your love shine on for we are the stars in the sky. Let your love shine strong until the day you fly.Let your love... (repeat x3) ...fly away

La chanson évoque une scène touchante dans un petit village où un couple se marie sous les yeux de leur communauté. Le cadre pastoral, avec le chant des tourterelles et les fleurs qui poussent autour des tombes, crée une atmosphère de beauté et de tranquillité. Elle nous parle de l'amour éternel, soulignant l'importance de l'engagement devant Dieu et des promesses fait. Au fil des ans, le paysage change : l'église devient une ruine et le cimetière est envahi par la végétation. En visitant une pierre tombale, le narrateur ressent une connexion profonde avec le passé, comme si les souvenirs et les paroles prononcées lors de ce mariage résonnaient encore dans la nature. La chanson célèbre l'idée que l'amour perdure à travers le temps, éclairant même les moments les plus sombres.
