My Greatest Day Lyrics

The candle's flickering
My eyes are burning
My fingers bleeding
The needle, faster and faster
As if it knows that not much time is left

The candle's flickering
There's silence in my room
I hear the needle
Perforating the velvet
The moment soon will come
I hope it will always stay
It will be a beautiful dress
For my greatest day

My love and me joined forever

Eyes still burning, I could have known
I'm too excited, fingers sewed to the bone
I'm bleeding but still no disaster
The needle, faster and faster
As if it knows that not much time is left

My bridegroom is longing for his wife

The candle's flickering
I wear the beautiful dress
Ready to enter into my very last journey
My love and me joined forever
Nothing can ever come between us
This is my greatest day

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
