about

Inspired by a post on a sewing group on facebook, of a 1940's wedding dress pattern that was bought from a charity shop that had been previously owned but never used.

lyrics

The Pattern
©Corrie Shelley

There's a pattern on the table that tells of times gone by
of wedding bells and happy times, and love lights in her eyes
I can see her face so clearly, as though she's sat with me
I can reach across and wipe away that single falling tear

I think of all the dreams she had, of how her life would be
the house the kids the picket fence, and holidays by the sea
but this pattern lies untouched, never cut and never made
never worn by the blushing bride, on her wedding day

Her bouquet is replaced now with a telegram that says
her man he died a hero on the shores of Normandy
this war it changed so many things leaving broken hearts behind
the men they fell on battlefields, no safe place left to hide

It changed our cities and our towns and the way we live our lives
but this pattern and the memories remind us of those times

There's a pattern on the table that tells of times gone by
of wedding bells and happy times, and love lights in her eyes
I can see her face so clearly, as though she's sat with me
I can reach across and wipe away that single falling tear

I can see her face so clearly, as though she's sat with me
I can reach across and wipe away that single falling tear
I can reach across and wipe away that single falling tear
