Nana Mouskouri - Danny Boy lyrics
[Nana Mouskouri - Danny Boy 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 flowers are dying
'tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide
But come you back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed
And white with snow
'tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
And if you come
When all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place
Where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me
And I shall hear
Tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell
Me that you love me
I simply sleep in peace until you come to me
The pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone
And all the flowers are dying
'tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide
But come you back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed
And white with snow
'tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
And if you come
When all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place
Where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me
And I shall hear
Tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell
Me that you love me
I simply sleep in peace until you come to me
