"A Little Bit More" lyrics

For certain she was the face of springtime
The flowers stood and paid her due
And all the folk, they sang of a good rhyme
While drinking all they wanted to
A bitter-sweet, this final evening
Before he must leave her side

They danced around the glass filled tables
While fiddlers played so sweet and low
Their eyes hard fixed upon the other
However, would she let him go?
And when the time it came upon them
She said in case we forget

Just a little bit more, just a little bit more
Just a little bit more, just a little bit more
Just a little bit more, just a little bit more
Just a little bit more, just a little bit more

The letters came and every single Sunday
We all would wait to hear the news
She knew her love would be home someday
The only thing she held on to
We sang a song just like we used to
And she said before we could leave

Just a little bit more, just a little bit more

That night she heard her true love calling
With words that only she could know
They held each other till the morning
And when it was his time to go
She said

Just a little bit more, just a little bit more
