Daniel O'donnell Veil Of White Lace Lyrics

The church door was opened as I stepped inside
I went there hoping that she'd changed her mind
There were beautiful roses in a bridal bouquet
Where she stood at the altar in a veil of white lace

A stranger in silence reached out for her hand
And placed on her finger a gold wedding band
There was happiness written in a smile on his face
But I couldn't see hers for the veil of white lace

I pitied the stranger for all he could see
Was their life together 'til eternity
My heart filled with anger as I pictured the face Of a false hearted quitter 'neath a veil of white lace

I reached in my pocket when the wedding was done
My hand touched a locket then it fell on a gun
It shattered the silence as it left its trace
Stains of red crimson on a veil of white lace

I ran from the church house as I threw down the gun
But stopped at the door step for there crossing the lawn
My darling said she had decided to wait
Death to a stranger 'neath a veil of white lace

Yes it's death to a stranger 'neath a veil of white lace
