A Whiter Shade Of Pale Lyrics - The Ultimate Performance: When A Man Loves A Woman - Percy Sledge

We skipped the light fandango 

And turned cartwheels across the floor 

I was feeling kind of seasick 

The crowd called out for more 

The room was humming harder 

As the ceiling flew away 

When we called out for another drink 

The waiter brought a tray 

And so it was that later 

As the miller told his tale 

That her face at first just ghostly 

Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said there is no reason 

And the truth is plain to see 

But I wandered through my playing cards 

Would not let her be 

One of sixteen vestal virgins 

Who were leaving for the coast 

At the moment my eyes were open 

They might just as well have been closed 

Photos 

And so it was that later 

As the miller told his tale 

That her face at first just ghostly 

Turned a whiter shade of pale
