Ae Fond Kiss

A fond kiss, and then we sever A farewell, and then forever Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee Who shall say that Fortune grieves him While the star of hope she leaves him Me nae cheerful twinkle lights me Dark despair around be nights me I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy Nothing could resist my Nancy But to see her was to love her Love but her, and love for ever Had we never loe'd sae kindly Had we never loe'd sae blindly Never met nor never parted We had ne'er been broken-hearted Fare thee weel, thou first and fairest Fare thee weel, thou best and dearest Thine be ilka joy and treasure Peace, Enjoyment, Love and Pleasure A fond kiss, and then we sever A farewell, alas, for ever Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee --- Ae Fond Kiss - Dougie MacLean
