Moonlight In Mayo

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
