Mikveh Bath

[Verse 1]
Up to my knees in the water
Washing every hair before I wed
The mikveh bath will purify me
Before I lie down in my wedding bed

Will he be rough, or gentle?
Will his eyes be brown or green?
Will he smell like sweat, or like roses?
Will his nails be dirty or clean?

[Chorus]
Up to my hips in the water
Washing every hair before I wed
The mikveh bath will purify me
Before I lie down in my wedding bed
Will he be the man I dream of
Or will he make me weep into the night?
Will, I be the bride he yearns for
Beneath the wedding veil, dressed in white?

[Verse 2]
Up to my shoulders in the water
Washing every hair before I wed
The mikveh bath will purify me
Before I lie down in my wedding bed
Will he close his eyes before we kiss?
Will he run his fingers through my hair?
Will he undress in the other room
Or watch me as I say the evening prayer?

[Outro]
Now I am underwater
Washing every hair upon my head
The mikveh bath has purified me
Take me to our wedding bed
Take me to our wedding bed
Take me to our wedding bed
