Lyrics: Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side, The summer’s gone and all the roses falling, It’s you, it’s you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow, Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow, It’s I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow, Oh, Danny Boy, oh Danny boy I love you so! But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying, If I am dead, as dead I may well be Ye’ll come and find the place where I am lying, And kneel and say an Ave there for me; And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me, And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be, For you will bend and tell me that you love me, And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!
Oh, Mary, this London’s a wonderful sight With people here working by day and by night They don’t sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat But there’s gangs of them diggin’ For gold in the street At least when I asked them That’s what I was told so I just took a hand At this diggin’ for gold But for all that I’ve found there I might as well be In the place where the dark Mourne Sweeps down to the sea
I believe that when writin’ A wish you expressed As to how the fine ladies In London were dressed Well if you’ll believe me When asked to a ball They don’t wear no tops to Their dresses at all Oh, I’ve seen them myself and You could not in truth Tell it if they were bound for A ball or a bath Don’t be startin’ them fashions now Mary McRee In the place where the dark Mourne Sweeps down to the sea
There’s beautiful girls here, oh Never you mind Beautiful shapes Nature never designed Lovely complexions of roses and cream But let me remark with regard to the same That if at those roses you venture to sip The colors might all come away on your lip So I’ll wait for the wild Rose that’s waitin’ for me In the place where the dark Mourne Sweeps down to the sea
You remember young Diddy McClaren, of course Well he’s over here with the Rest of the force I saw him one day as he stood on the Strand Stopped all the traffic with a Wave of his hand And as we were talking of days that are gone The whole town of London stood There to look on But for all his great powers He’s wishful like me To be back where the dark Mourne Sweeps down to the sea
I do my makeup in somebody else’s car We order different drinks at the same bars I know about what you did and I wanna scream the truth She thinks you love the beach, you’re such a damn liar
Those great whites, they have big teeth Hope they bite you Thought you said that you would always be in love But you’re not in love no more Did it frighten you How we kissed when we danced on the light up floor? On the light up floor
But I hear sounds in my mind Brand new sounds in my mind But honey I’ll be seein’ you ‘ever I go But honey I’ll be seein’ you down every road I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it’
Cause honey I’ll come get my things, but I can’t let go I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it Oh, I wish I could get my things and just let go I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it
Sometimes I wake up in a different bedroom I whisper things, the city sings ’em back to you
All those rumors, they have big teeth Hope they bite you Thought you said that you would always be in love But you’re not in love no more Did it frighten you How we kissed when we danced on the light up floor? On the light up floor
But I hear sounds in my mind Brand new sounds in my mind But honey I’ll be seein’ you ‘ever I go But honey I’ll be seein’ you down every road I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it’
Cause honey I’ll come get my things, but I can’t let go I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it Oh, honey I’ll come get my things, but I can’t let go I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it Yes, honey I’ll come get my things, but I can’t let go I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it Oh, I wish I could get my things and just let go I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it
I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it
Looking back through changes Where we started from Don’t know about you but I knew it wasn’t wrong You know I kept a place For you in my mind And I know you did the same ‘Cause you’re just that kind
So if we knew all along Why did it take so long? We’ve known since we were young So why did it take so long? You know you make me feel loved Make me feel like I’m home So if we knew all along Why did it take so long?
Moving on You and I started looking back Now we’ve got to make up For all the wasted time You know I’d never let you just walk on by From the day that I met you I knew you’d be mine, yeah
So if we knew all along Why did it take so long? We’ve known since we were young Why did it take so long? You know you make me feel loved Make me feel like I’m home So if we knew all along Why did it take so long?
Just started, it’s just started I’m having trouble believing it’s true Just started, just started Now we got nothing to prove
So if we knew all along Why did it take so long? We’ve known it since we were young So why did it take so long? You know you make me feel loved Make me feel like I’m home So if we knew all along
Why did it take so long? Why did it take so long? Why did it take so long? Why did it take so long? Why did it take so long?
How do I get through one night without you If I had to live without you What kinda life would that be Oh I, I need you in my arms, need you to hold You’re my world, my heart, my soul
If you ever leave Well, baby you would take away everything Good in my life And tell me now
How do I live without you? I want to know How do I breathe without you? If you ever go How do I ever, ever survive How do I, how do I, oh how do I live
Without you There’d be no sun in my sky There would be no love in my life There’d be no world left for me
And I, well baby, I don’t know what I would do I’d be lost if I lost you
If you ever leave Well, baby you would take away everything Real in my life And tell me now
How do I live without you I want to know How do I breathe without you If you ever go How do I ever, ever survive How do I, how do I, oh how do I live
Please tell me baby how do I go on
If you ever leave Well, baby you would take away everything Need you with me Baby don’t you know that you’re everything Good in my life
And tell me now How do I live without you I want to know How do I breathe without you If you ever go How do I ever, ever survive How do I, how do I, oh how do I live
How do I live without you? How do I live without you, baby? How do I live
