Candles in the window Shadows painting the ceiling Gazing at the fire glow Feeling that gingerbread feeling Precious moments Special people Happy faces I can see Somewhere in my mem'ry Christmas joys all around me Living in my mem'ry All of the music All of the magic All of the fam'ly home here with me

The Dubliners—Dublin in the Rare Old Times

Image
[Chorus:] Ring a ring a rosie, as the light declines I'll remember Dublin city, in the rare ould times Raised on songs & stories, heroes of renown The passing tales & glories, that once was Dublin town The hallowed halls & houses, the haunting childrens' rhymes That once was Dublin city, in the rare ould times [Chorus] My name it is Sean Dempsey, as Dublin as could be Born hard & late in Pimlico, in a house that's ceased to be By trade I was a cooper, lost out to redundancy Like my house that fell to progress, my trade's a memory & I courted Peggy Dignan, as pretty as you please A rogue & a child of Mary, from the rebel Liberties I lost her to a student chap, with a skin as black as coal When he took her off to Birmingham, she took away my soul [Chorus] The years have made me bitter, the gargle dims me brain Cause Dublin keeps on changing, & nothing seems the same The Pillar & the Met have gone, the Royal long since pulled down As the gre...

Daniel O'Donnell—My Wild Irish Rose

Image
My wild Irish Rose,  the sweetest flower that grows. You may search everywhere,  but none can compare with my wild Irish Rose. My wild Irish Rose,  the dearest flower that grows, And some day for my sake,  she may let me take the bloom from my wild Irish Rose. My wild Irish Rose,  the sweetest flower that grows. You may search everywhere,  but none can compare with my wild Irish Rose. My wild Irish Rose,  the dearest flower that grows, And some day for my sake,  she may let me take the bloom from my wild Irish Rose. Yes some day for my sake,  she may let me take the bloom from my wild Irish Rose. Songwriters: Mervyn Allan / Pd Traditional My Wild Irish Rose lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc

We Are the World

Image
We Are the World Lyrics There comes a time When we heed a certain call When the world must come together as one There are people dying Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life The greatest gift of all We can't go on Pretending day-by-day That someone, somewhere soon make a change We're all a part of God's great big family And the truth, you know, love is all we need We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me Oh, send them your heart So they know that someone cares And their lives will be stronger and free As God has shown us by turning stones to bread And so we all must lend a helping hand We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let...

Amarantine by Irish Musician Enya

Image
Amarantine is taken from ancient Greek and means everlasting or immortal (the same as the amaranth flower). You know when you gave your love away It opens your heart, everything is new And you know time will always find a way To let your heart believe it's true You know love is everything you say A whisper, a word, promises you give You feel it in the heartbeat of the day You know this is the way love is Amarantine Amarantine Amarantine Love is always love Amarantine Amarantine Amarantine Love is always love You know love may sometimes make you cry So let the tears go, they will flow away For you know love will always let you fly How far a heart can fly away Amarantine Amarantine Amarantine Love is always love Amarantine Amarantine Amarantine Love is always love Amarantine Amarantine Amarantine Love is always love You know when love's shining in your eyes It may be the stars fal...

Winter Song

Image
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum Bum bum bum bum bum bum Bum bum bum bum bum bum This is my winter song to you. The storm is coming soon, It rolls in from the sea My voice; a beacon in the night. My words will be your light, To carry you to me. Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love They say that things just cannot grow Beneath the winter snow, Or so I have been told. They say were buried far, Just like a distant star I simply cannot hold. Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love alive? This is my winter song. December never felt so wrong, 'Cause you're not where you belong; Inside my arms. Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum Bum bum bum bum bum bum Bum bum bum bum bum bum I still believe in summer days. The seasons always change And life will find a way. I'll be your harvester of light And send it out tonight So we can start again. Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love alive? This is my winter song. December never felt so...

John Denver — Sunshine On My Shoulders

Lyrics Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high If I had a day that I could give you I'd give to you the day just like today If I had a song that I could sing for you I'd sing a song to make you feel this way Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high Sunshine almost all the time makes me high Sunshine almost always 

Susan Boyle - All I Ask Of You

Image
Lyrics (Donny) No more talk of darkness, Forget these wide-eyed fears; I'm here, nothing can harm you, My words will warm and calm you. Let me be your freedom, Let daylight dry your tears; I'm here, with you, beside you, To guard you and to guide you. (Susan) Say you love me every waking moment, Turn my head with talk of summertime. Say you need me with you now and always; Promise me that all you say is true, That's all I ask of you. ( Donny ) Let me be your shelter, Let me be your light; You're safe, no one will find you, Your fears are far behind you. ( Susan ) All I want is freedom, A world with no more night; And you, always beside me, To hold me and to hide me. ( Donny ) Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime; Let me lead you to your solitude. Say you need me with you here, beside you, Anywhere you go, let me go too, That's all I ask of you ( Susan ) Say you'll share with me one love, one lifet...

And I Love You So ― Don McLean

Image
And I love you so The people ask me how How I've lived till now I tell them I don't know I guess they understand How lonely life has been But life began again The day you took my hand And yes, I know how lonely life can be The shadows follow me And the night won't set me free But I don't let the evening get me down Now that you're around me And you love me too Your thoughts are just for me You set my spirit free I'm happy that you do The book of life is brief And once a page is read All but love is dead That is my belief And yes, I know how lonely life can be The shadows follow me And the night won't set me free But I don't let the evening get me down Now that you're around me And I love you so The people ask me how How I've lived till now I tell them I don't know

When Irish Eyes Are Smiling

Image
Lyrics There's a tear in your eye And I'm wondering why For it never should be there at all With such pow'r in your smile Sure a stone you'd beguile So there's never a teardrop should fall When your sweet lilting laughter's Like some fairy song And your eyes twinkle bright as can be You should laugh all the while And all other times smile And now, smile a smile for me When Irish eyes are smiling Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring In the lilt of Irish laughter You can hear the angels sing When Irish hearts are happy All the world seems bright and gay And when Irish eyes are smiling Sure, they steal your heart away For your smile is a part Of the love in your heart And it makes even sunshine more bright Like the linnet's sweet song Crooning all the day long Comes your laughter and light For the springtime of life Is the sweetest of all There is ne'er a real care or ...

When you are old

  Video 1.  MARTINA MCBRIDE- WHEN YOU ARE OLD (YouTube link ) Lyrics When you are old and tired and gray Wear you overcoat on sunny days When your brave tales have all been told I'll ask for them when you are old When you are old and full of sleep And death no longer makes you weep When your body aches with cold I'll warm your heart when you are old You'll still be the same to me A comfort and a mystery And I will be able to you see I'll need someone to comfort me When you are old and pale and gaunt A gentle hand is all you want I will give you mine to hold And I'll be here when you are old Yes I will give you mine to hold And I'll be here when you are old Written by Gretchen Peters • Copyright © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC

Time Will Tell

Image
Turning in the grain again The bells begin to chime Time, she says, “There’s no turning back, Keep your eyes on the tracks” Through the fields, somewhere there’s blue Oh, time will tell, she’ll see us through Howling out, The windy hills And all the time we took You should know just how it steals Keep your hand on the wheel And through it all, somewhere we knew Time will tell, she’ll see us through And all fire and flames took all we trust We’re kicking up dust Stations fade just like they do Oh, time will tell, we always knew Oh, time will tell, we always knew — Gregory Alan Isakov 2016
