(Tompall Glaser)

Stand beside me, stand beside me
For if I should lose you I just couldn't get anywhere
Stand beside me, stand beside me
You're the only one who ever made me care.

I can't stand to think that I might be alone
Not alone again, not the way it was back then.
Before you walked into my heart
And told me we'd never part
So stand beside me
Don't ever let me be alone again.

Stand beside me, stand beside me
For if I should lose you I just couldn't get anywhere
Stand beside me, stand beside me
You're the only one who ever made me care.

--- Instrumental ---

There'll be times when everything goes wrong
But darling, I won't care if I know your standing there
No matter what we have to do together we can see it through
And I'll be standing right there next to you.

Stand beside me, stand beside me
For if I should lose you I just couldn't get anywhere
Stand beside me, stand beside me
You're the only one who ever made me care.

Stand beside me, stand beside me
For if I should lose you I just couldn't get anywhere
Stand beside me, stand beside me
You're the only one who ever made me care.

Yes, you're the only one who ever made me care...

(Talmadge Tubb)

When we dance together my world's in disguise
It's a fairyland tale that's come true
And when you look at me girl with those stars in your eyes
I could waltz across Texas with you.

Waltz across Texas with you in my arms
Waltz across Texas with you
Like a storybook ending I'm lost in your charms
I could waltz across Texas with you.

--- Instrumental ---

My heartaches and troubles just packed up and gone
The moment you come into view
And with your hand in mine, I could dance on and on
I could waltz across Texas with you.

Waltz across Texas with you in my arms
Waltz across Texas with you
Like a storybook ending I'm lost in your charms
I could waltz across Texas with you.

I could waltz across Texas with you...

(Frank Hennessy)

As I roved out one morning going to Dungarvan Fair
I spied a pretty maiden with the sunlight in her hair
Her way was so delightful, her voice rang like a bell
And as I overtook her I asked if she was well.

Chorus:
Lay down your woolen shawl me love
I swear it is no joke
And I'll tell to you the story
Of the Old Dungarvan Oak.

As we approached Dungarvan the girl at me did stare
And she asked me why I raised my hat to a tree so old and bare
I told her of the legend, if the tree should e'er come down
There'd be a great disaster and Dungarvan would be drowned.

Chorus:
Lay down your woolen shawl me love
I swear it is no joke
And I'll tell to you the story
Of the Old Dungarvan Oak.

--- Instrumental ---

Then she started laughing, my face grew very red
And she said that only fools believed what those old legends said
Her laughter was contagious for the truth to you I'll tell
By the time I reached the market place I began to laugh as well.

Chorus:
Lay down your woolen shawl me love
I swear it is no joke
And I'll tell to you the story
Of the Old Dungarvan Oak.

As I sit here by my fireside it's the autumn of my life
And the darling girl I met that day is now my darling wife
I have a lovely daughter And a son to push my yoke
And all because I raised my hat to the Old Dungarvan Oak.

Chorus:
Lay down your woolen shawl me love
I swear it is no joke
And I'll tell to you the story
Of the Old Dungarvan Oak.

Chorus:
Lay down your woolen shawl me love
I swear it is no joke
And I'll tell to you the story
Of the Old Dungarvan Oak...

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...

(Terry Fell - Bobby Edwards - Fred Henley)

You're the reason I don't sleep at night.

I just lay here at night toss and I turn loving you so how my heart yearns
Honey, you're the reason I don't sleep at night
Walking the floor feeling so blue smoke cigarettes drink coffee too
Honey, you're the reason I don't sleep at night.

I'd bet you're not losing sleep over me
But if I'm wrong don't fail to call, come over and keep me company
Sometimes I go for a walk, take a look at the moon
Strum my guitar, sing oor love tunes.
Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night.

Walking the floor feeling so blue
Smoke cigarettes, drink coffee too
Strum my guitar, look at the moon
Losing sleep over you.

I'd bet you're not losing sleep over me
But if I'm wrong don't fail to call, come over and keep me company
Sometimes I go for a walk, take a look at the moon
Strum my guitar, sing oor love tunes.
Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night.

Walking the floor feeling so blue
Smoke cigarettes, drink coffee too
Strum my guitar, look at the moon
Losing sleep over you.

Walking the floor feeling so blue
Smoke cigarettes, drink coffee too
Strum my guitar, look at the moon
Losing sleep over you...

. . .


(Conway Twitty)

(I can't see me without you.)

Is it day, is it night
Am I losing my sight
Is it over, are we really through?
I can't see you in my arms anymore
And I can't see me without you.

Chorus:
I can't see me without you to lean on
And I can't see you leaving or gone.
I could never see anything you wanted me to
Now I can't see me without you.

I see the house you once called your home
And I see the door you walked through
I see the road you're leaving me on
And I can't see me without you.

Chorus:
I can't see me without you to lean on
And I can't see you leaving or gone
I could never see anything you wanted me to
Now I can't see me without you.

Now I can't see me without you...

(J.R. Shannon)

Over in Killarney
Many years ago
Me Mither sang a song to me
In tones so sweet and low.

Just a simple little ditty
In her good ould Irish way
And l'd give the world if she could sing
That song to me this day.

"Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't you cry
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that's an Irish lullaby."

Oft in dreams I wander
To that cot again
I feel her arms a-huggin' me
As when she held me then.

And I hear her voice a -hummin'
To me as in days of yore
When she used to rock me fast asleep
Outside the cabin door.

"Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't you cry
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that's an Irish lullaby..."

. . .


If you ever go across the sea to Ireland
Then maybe at the closing of your day
You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay.

Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream
The women in the meadows making hay
Or to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin
And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play.

For the breezes blowing o'er the seas from Ireland
Are perfum'd by the heather as they blow
And the women in the uplands diggin' praties
Speak a language that the strangers do not know.

Oh, the strangers came and tried to teach their way
They scorn'd us just for being what we are
But they might as well go chasing after moon beams
Or light a penny candle from a star.

And if there's going to be a life hereafter
That somehow I feel sure there's going to be
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven
In that dear land across the Irish sea.

I will ask my God to let me make my heaven
In that dear land across the Irish sea...

. . .


(My shoes keep walking back to you.)

I may say that I don't care
Hold my head up in the air
Even tell my friends I'm glad that you don't call
But when the day is through
My heartaches start anew
And that's when I miss you most of all.

And my arms (my arms) keep reaching for you
My eyes (my eyes) keep searching for you
My lips keep calling for you
And my shoes (my shoes) keep walking back to you.

--- Instrumental ---

No matter how much I pretend
I wish I had you back again
For nothing else means half as much as you
Our world just seemed to die
The day you said goodbye
And I can't forget no matter what I do.

And my arms (my arms) keep reaching for you
My eyes (my eyes) keep searching for you
My lips keep calling for you and
And my shoes (my shoes) keep walking back to you.

And my shoes keep walking back to you...

Our House Is a Home

[No lyrics]

. . .


The autumn evening filled with copper shades
I see the birds neck in the frame
A figure walks into the sunset
Someone goes past suspended from the sky.

Chorus:
Takes more imagination
When everything's remote control
For me it's just a case of
What's on the far side of the road
Tell everybody I'm going away for ten years
I'm going to wander among the Wicklow Hills.

The travelling children in their Sunday clothes
Lost on the corner of the street
Fat gypsy lady smacks the window pane
A farm dog gets out on the motorway.

Chorus:
Takes more imagination
When everything's remote control
For me it's just a case of
What's on the far side of the road
Tell everybody I'm going away for ten years
I'm going to wander among the Wicklow Hills...

. . .


Molly dear now did you hear, the news that's goin' round?
Down in a corner of my heart, a love is what you've found.
And every time I look into your Irish eyes so blue.
They seem to whisper 'Darling boy, my love is all for you.' Oh,

Chorus:
Molly, my Irish Molly, my sweet acushla
dear I'm fairly off my trolley, my Irish
Molly, When you are near. Springtime, you know is
ring time. Come dear and don't be slow,
Change your name, go out with game, Begora wouldn't I do the same
my Irish Molly O!

Molly dear now did you hear I furnished up the flat.
Three little cosy rooms with bath and a 'welcome' on the mat.
It's five pounds down and two a week, we'll soon be out of debt.
It's all complete except, they haven't brought the cradle yet.

Chorus:
Molly, my Irish Molly, my sweet acushla
dear I'm fairly off my trolley, my Irish
Molly, When you are near. Springtime, you know is
ring time. Come dear and don't be slow,
Change your name, go out with game, Begora wouldn't I do the same
my Irish Molly O!

Molly dear now did you hear what all the neighbours say.
About the hundred sovereigns you have safely stowed away.
They say that's why I love you. Ah but Molly that's a shame
If you had only ninety-nine I'd love you just the same.

Chorus:
Molly, my Irish Molly, my sweet acushla
dear I'm fairly off my trolley, my Irish
Molly, When you are near. Springtime, you know is
ring time. Come dear and don't be slow,
Change your name, go out with game, Begora wouldn't I do the same
my Irish Molly O!...

(Conway Twitty)

Hello Darlin'
Nice to see you
It's been a long time
You're just as lovely
As you used to be.

How's your new love
Are you happy
Hope your doin' fine
Just to know it
Means so much to me.

What's that Darlin'
How am I doin'
Guess I'm doin' alright
Except I can't sleep
And I cry all night 'til dawn.

What I'm tryin' to say
Is I love you and I miss you
And I'm so sorry
That I did you wrong.

Look up Darlin'
Let me kiss you
Just for old time sake
Let me hold you
In my arms one more time.

Thank you Darlin'
May God bless you
And may each step you take
Bring you closer
To the things you seek to find.

Goodbye Darlin'
I gotta go now
Gotta try to find a way
To lose these memories
Of a love so warm and true.

And if you should ever find it
In your heart to forgive me
Come back Darlin'
I'll be waitin' for you...

Only This Moment Is Mine

Curly Putman)

(Ohhh.)

The old hometown looks the same as I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and my papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

Yes, they'll all come to meet me
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

The old house is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

(Spoken)
Then I awake and look around me
At the cold grey walls that surround me
And I realize, yeah, I was only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
Again I'll touch the green, green grass of home.

(Sang)
Yes, they'll all come to see me
In the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home...

(B. Dowe - F. McHaughton, adapted from Psalm 137:1)

By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down
There we wept
When we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down
There we wept
When we remembered Zion.

(But the wicked) carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alfa song
In a strange land.

('Cause the wicked) carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alfa song
In a strange land.

--- Instrumental & hum ---

Let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Here tonight

Let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Here tonight

By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down
There we wept
When we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down
There we wept
When we remembered Zion.

--- Instrumental & hum ---

By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down
There we wept
When we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down
There we wept
When we remembered Zion...

(Stuart Hine)

Oh, Lord my God when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation
To take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim my God how great Thou art.

Then sings my soul my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!.

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!...
