|
It was just a year ago today I left old Erin's Isle |
|
My heart was throbbin in the soft light of my colleen's smile |
|
In all my dreams I seem to hearher sweet voice soft and low |
|
I know she's waiting where we said goodbye in old Mayo |
|
CHORUS |
|
For two irish eyes are shining |
|
And an Irish heart is pining |
|
And when I kissed her and caressed her |
|
In the gloaming long ago |
|
Loving Irish arms will press me |
|
And true Irish love caress me |
|
And sweet Irish lips will bless me |
|
When it's Moonlight in Mayo |
|
Her Irish eyes like beacons shine all in the darkest night |
|
I know the sweet love beams below will always fill the world with light |
|
The roses of her cheeks will lend enchantment to the sea |
|
And when shamrocks wear the dew I'll wed my sweet colleen |
|
CHORUS |
