Steve and Ainsley Apirana: Music

Written by Steven Apirana


There are many that will say that I will not come,


But how can I resist a bride as beautiful as you


You are my beloved and I am glad


I have chosen you out of all the fair maidens


To be my own


Now I have the pleasure


Of watching you prepare yourself


For when I come to take you


Back to my father’s house


My patient bride


My faithful bride


And, oh the joy it brings me


When you mention my name


With love and longing in your heart for me


And know this, my bride, know this


That I long to be with you


There are many that say I will not come


But how can I resist a bride as beautiful as you



I will come, my darling, I will; come


And you will see me as I see you


When I finally lift the veil from your eyes


When I finally lift the veil from your eyes
