Lyrics[]

Liza:
Oh, they say when you marry in June,
You're a bride all your life.

Sarah:
And the bridegroom who marries in June
Gets a sweetheart for a wife

Ruth:
Winter weddings can be gay
Like a Christmas holiday

Martha:
But the June bride hears the song
Of the spring that lasts all summer long

Dorcas:
By the light of the silvery moon
Home you ride, side by side

Liza:
With the echo of Mendelssohn's tune

Liza, Sarah & Alice:
In your hearts as you ride

All:
For they say when you marry in June,
You will always be a bride.

Liza:
The day a maiden marries is a day she carries through the years

Martha & Dorcas:
The Church is full of flowers, bridal showers all passe

All:
The groom's waiting at the altar, here comes the bride,
They're each promising to love and obey

Liza:
There's madness celebrating
Every bridesmaid waiting
Just to see which one of them will catch the wedding bouquet

All:
For they say when you marry in June,
You will always, always, always, be a bride

Alice, Sarah & Docas:
In November, the snow starts to fly,
Piling up, ankle-high

Liza, Martha & Ruth:
Come December, it's up to your knee,
Still a bride's a bride-to-be

All:
January, higher still,
To the parlor window sill

Milly:
February finds a drift
And the storm that seems never to lift

Liza, Sarah & Dorcas:
March comes in like a lion, what else?
Still the snow never melts

Liza & Alice:
April showers will come, so they say

Liza:
But they don't, and it's May

All:
You're about to forget the whole thing,
All at once, one day, it's Spring
