Vaya Con Dios

Daniel O'Donnell · Daniel O'Donnell Show [2002]

Danial O'Donnell & Mary Duff



(Both)

Now the hacienda's dark, the town is sleeping

Now the time has come to part, the time for weeping

Vaya con Dios my darling, Vaya con Diaz my love.



Now the village mission bells are softly ringing

If you listen with your heart you'll hear them singing

Vaya con Dios my darling, Vaya con Dios my love.



(Danial)

Wherever you may be I'll be beside you

Although you're many million dreams away

Each night I'll say a pray'r, a pray'r to guide you

To hasten ev'ry lonely hour of ev'ry lonely day.



(Both)

Now the dawn is breaking through a gray tomorrow,

But the memories we share are there to borrow.

Vaya con Dios, my darling, Vaya con Dios my love.



Vaya con Dios, my darling, Vaya con Dios my love...
