"Like An Angel Passing Through My Room"
(originally by ABBA)



Long awaited darkness falls
Casting shadows on the walls
In the twilight hour I am alone
Sitting near the fireplace, dying embers warm my face
In this peaceful solitude
All the outside world subdued
Everything comes back to me again
In the gloom
Like an angel passing through my room

Half awake and half in dreams
Seeing long forgotten scenes
So the present runs into the past
Now and then become entwined, playing games within my mind
Like the embers as they die
Love was one prolonged good-bye
And it all comes back to me tonight
In the gloom
Like an angel passing through my room

I close my eyes
And my twilight images go by
All too soon
Like an angel passing through my room

Everything comes back to me again
In the gloom
Like an angel passing through my room

I close my eyes
And my twilight images go by
All too soon
Like an angel passing through my room

"Mary's Boy Child"

"Mary's Boy Child"


Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible says
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day

Hark, now hear the angels sing a new king born today
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day

While shepherds watch their flocks by night
They saw a bright new shining star
And heard a chior from heaven sing
The music came from afar

Hark, now hear the angels sing a new king born today
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day

Now Joseph and his wife, Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
They found no place to bear her child
Not a single room was in sight

Hark, now hear the angels sing a new king born today
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day

By and by they found a nook in a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark, Mary's little child was born

Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day
Hark, now hear the angels sing a new king born today
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day.

"May It Be"

"May It Be"


May it be an evening star,
Shines down upon you.
May it be when darkness falls,
Your heart will be true.
You walk a lonely road;
Oh, how far you are from home....
Mornie utulie (darkness has come),
Believe and you will find your way.
Mornie alantie (darkness has fallen),
A promise lives within you now....
May it be the shadows call,
Will fly away.
May it be your journey on,
To light the day.
When the night is overcome,
You may rise to find the sun.
Mornie utulie (darkness has come),
Believe and you will find your way.
Mornie alantie (darkness has fallen),
A promise lives within you now....
A promise lives within you now....

"Mo Ghile Mear"

"Mo Ghile Mear"


Lá na mara
Lá na mara nó rabharta
Guth na dtonnta a leanadh
Guth na dtonnta a leanfad ó
Lá na mara nó lom trá
Lá na mara nó rabharta
Lá an ghainimh, lom trá
Lá an ghainimh

(The day of the sea
The day of the sea or of the high tides
To follow the voice of the waves
I would follow the voice of the waves
The day of the sea or the ebb tide
The day of the sea or of the high tides
The day of the sands, the ebb tide
The day of the sands)

Can you feel the river run?
Waves are dancing to the sun
Take the tide and face the sea
And find a way to follow me

Leave the field and leave the fire
And find the flame of your desire
Set your heart on this far shore
And sing your dream to me once more

[Chorus:]
'Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear
'Sé mo Shéasar, gile mear
Suan gan séan ní bhfuair mé féin
Ó chuaigh i gcéin mo ghile mear

(He is my hero, my dashing darling
He is my Caesar, dashing darling
Rest or pleasure I did not get
Since he went far away, my darling)

Now the time has come to leave
Keep the flame and still believe
Know that love will shine through darkness
One bright star to light the wave

[Chorus]

Amhrán na farraige
Ór ar na seolta
Amhrán na farraige
Ag seoladh na bhfonnta...

(Song of the sea
Gold on the sails
Song of the sea
Sending the melodies...)

Lift your voice and raise the sail
Know that love will never fail
Know that I will sing to you
Each night as I dream of you

[Chorus]

Ag seinm na farraige
Ag seinm na farraige
(Playing the sea
Playing the sea)

Seinn... Play...

[Chorus]

Gile mear, the wind and sun
The sleep is over, dream is done
To the west where fire sets
To the gile mear, the day begun

[Chorus 2x]

Ó chuaigh i gcéin mo ghile mear
(Since he went far away, my darling)

Amhrán na farraige
Ór ar na seolta
Ag seoladh na bhfonnta
(Song of the sea
Gold on the sails
Sending the melodies)

"Mo Ghile Mear (My Gallant Star)"

"Mo Ghile Mear (My Gallant Star)"


'Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear
Bonnie boy, ghile mear
You will be my gallant star
Oh heys to me mo ghile mear
In this land, this land unfree
Oh who will fein to unchain me
My children keyed in vain for thee
To break my chains for liberty
'Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear
Bonnie boy, ghile mear
You will be my gallant star
Oh heys to me mo ghile mear
Mountains high, and valleys low
The cuckoo sings of Saxon foe
'Tis you must strike the mortal blow
Mo ghile mear, mo buachaill beo
'Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear
Bonnie boy, ghile mear
You will be my gallant star
Oh heys to me mo ghile mear
So come my love to battle come
To this fair land so weary sung
Let harp and song the valleys hum
And sound the sound of freedom's drum
'Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear
Bonnie boy, ghile mear
You will be my gallant star
Oh heys to me mo ghile mear
'Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear
Bonnie boy, ghile mear
You will be my gallant star
Oh heys to me mo ghile mear
'Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear
Bonnie boy, ghile mear
You will be my gallant star
Oh heys to me mo ghile mear
You will be my gallant star
Oh heys to me mo ghile mear

"My Heart Was Home Again"

"My Heart Was Home Again"


So it goes, history shows
Deserts must expand
And camels sail like wooden ships
Like women on the strand
There's sand on Second Avenue
And the wind blows like a train
Taxies light up like a string of pearls
Around the block again

And I remembered everything
And every windowpane
Every word came back to me
The way it used to be
Then I saw your face across the street
And my heart was home again

There's a bus that leaves at 8:15
And another one at 10:00
Should I climb aboard, risk everything
And ride it to the end
Watch the hills like roller coasters
Up against the sky
And wish that you were here by me
So close that I could die

You say love wrecks everything
And none of us survive
So I got over you last night
And I am still alive
Then I saw your face across the street
And my heart was home again

And I remembered everything
And every windowpane
Every word came back to me
The way it used to be
Then I saw your face across the street
And my heart was home
And my heart was home
Again

"My Heart Will Go On"
(originally by Celine Dion)

"My Heart Will Go On"
(originally by Celine Dion)



Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart and
My heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go 'til we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart and
My heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and
My heart will go on and on

"My Lagan Love"

"My Lagan Love"


Where Lagan stream sings lullaby
There blows a lily fair
The twilight gleam is in her eye
The night is on her hair
And like a love-sick lennan-shee
She has my heart in thrall
Nor life I owe nor liberty
With love is lord of all.
And sometimes when the beetle's horn
Hath lulled the eve to sleep
I steal unto her shieling lorn
And thru the dooring peep.
There on the cricket's singing stone,
She stirs the bogwood fire,
And hums in sad sweet undertones
The song of heart's desire
The song of heart's desire.

"My Land"

"My Land"


How green are your valleys, how blue your great skies
Your mountains stand tall in their glory
Your rivers run free the bright stars are your eyes,
Your beauty is endless before me.

Oh, you are the song ever singing in me
And you are the heart ever true
For you are my land and you always will be
The voice ever calling me… home to you.

When to your green valleys some day I return
When you lay your mantle around me
At rest I will be where the heart will not yearn
With my land to ever…surround me.

For you are the song ever singing in me
And you are the heart ever true
For you are my land and you always will be
The voice ever calling me… home to you.

You are the song ever singing in me
And you are the heart ever true
For you are my land and you always will be
The voice ever calling me… home to you.

The voice ever calling me…home to you.

"Nella Fantasia"

"Nella Fantasia"


Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo giusto,
Li tutti vivono in pace e in onesta.
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien' d'umanita in fondo all'anima.
(oboe)
Nella fantasia esiste un vento caldo,
Che soffia sulle citta, come amico.
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien' d'umanita in fondo all'anima.
