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 hear her 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
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
Two Irish eyes like beacons shine all in the darkest night
I know the sweet love glow 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
