And the Sun It Still Rises |
Here am I, broken hearted, and lonely. |
With a pain worse than I’ve ever known. |
And I can’t bear to think of bein' without her, |
as in days when I wandered alone. |
She was my inspiration and lover. |
We shared all the laughter and tears. |
And I never again will find true love, |
should I live for a hundred more years. |
Her hair had the sheen of red roses, |
and her skin was as white as the snow. |
Her eyes were as green as the shamrock, |
that around Erin’s Island those grow. |
Her nature was gentle and charmin', |
and her smile was beguilin' and shy. |
All others did heil at her beauty, |
whenever she passed them by. |
From the first time I spied this there lassie, |
I knew she was meant to be mine. |
One look in her eyes and I’d fallen. |
She had stolen my heart for all time. |
Our love, it was sweeter than honey, |
and warm as some tropical breeze. |
As soft as the due in the mornin', |
and as wild as the waves of the sea. |
I thought we had more years together, |
but yet, it was not meant to be. |
And I can’t understand, and I wonder, |
had the wisdom then took her from me? |
And now I will go on some journey, |
but no matter where I chance to roam, |
I will never forget that cold mornin', |
when the Gods called my sweet angel home. |
And the sun it still rises each mornin', |
and the nightingale sweetly still sings, |
and the flowers still bloom in the meadow, |
but no joy to me do they bring. |
