	Kathleen：to pan and terry
	Blown like a leaf on a warm summer breeze
	A vision approached me as cool as you please
	With her strawberry hair and a wink in her eye
	To say i was smitten would not be a lie
	Gathering courage i started to speak
	To ask of her name but my heart felt too weak
	Like i'd gone to heaven before i had died
	I mumbled the question she calmly replied 'kathleen'
	Well i remember my first motorbike
	With her riding pillion i'd not heard the like
	Of her giggles and squeels as we leaned left and right
	And feeling her arms round my chest holding tight
	Whilrwind romances were never my speed
	But this one took off like a runaway steed
	When she said she was having the time of her life
	I knew then this vision would soon be my wife, kathleen
	Oh kathleen the memories you've left me
	They'll be with me through all of my days
	Thinking there's safety in numbers no doubt
	Acounts for the fact that the wholw town turned out
	To behold how serenely she walked down the aisle
	But trembled and blushed as i kissed her sweet smile
	Picnics on beaches and punts on the lake
	Luck seemed to serve us a slice of life's cake
	That was more than enought to sustain us through years
	When laughter would somehow give way to some tears kathleen
	Oh kathleen the memories you've left me
	They'll be with me through all of my days
	Then at the ball she looked ever so sweet
	Heavy with child but still light on her feet
	Every head turned our way as we whirled o'er the floor
	And i love her more than i'd loved her before
	(instrumental)
	Two caring children siobhan and marie
	A grand little grandchild to bounce on my knee
	They're a fine testimonial to all that was right
	In keeping our candle of love burning bright, kathleen
	Now as my life nears its own eventide
	It's almost as though she were here by my side
	Such a presence an aura so perfectly made
	My beautiful vision that never will fade kathleen

	Kathleen: to pan and terry
	Blown like a leaf on a warm summer breeze
	A vision approached me as cool as you please
	With her strawberry hair and a wink in her eye
	To say i was smitten would not be a lie
	Gathering courage i started to speak
	To ask of her name but my heart felt too weak
	Like i' d gone to heaven before i had died
