"Don't Forget To Remember"

"Don't Forget To Remember"


Oh, my heart won't believe that you have left me
I keep telling myself that it's true
I can get over anything you want, my love
But I can't get myself over you

Don't forget to remember me
And the love that used to be
I still remember you, I love you
In my heart lies a memory to tell the stars above
Don't forget to remember me, my love

On my wall lies a photograph of you girl
Though I try to forget you somehow
You're the mirror of my soul, take me out of my hole
Let me try to go on living right now

Don't forget to remember me
And the love that used to be
I still remember you, I love you
In my heart lies a memory to tell the stars above
Don't forget to remember me, my love

Don't forget to remember me, my love

"Don't Let Me Cross Over"

"Don't Let Me Cross Over"


I'm tempted my darling, to steal you away
So help me my darling, stay out of my way
You know that I love you, and I'm not the cheatin' kind
But I'm faced with heartache and loves cheating line

Don't let me cross over loves cheating line
You belong to another and you'll never be mine
I know one step closer, would be heaven divine
Don't let me cross over, loves cheatin' line.

[Instrumental]

I tried to forget you, but what else can I do
When your eyes keep saying, that you love me too
I know if I lose you, not a dream will I have left
I don't want to cheat, dear, but I can't help myself.

Don't let me cross over loves cheating line
You belong to another and you'll never be mine
I know one step closer, would be heaven divine
Don't let me cross over, loves cheatin' line.

Don't let me cross over, loves cheatin' line...

"Don't Say Love"

"Don't Say Love"


Don't say love if you don't mean what you say
Don't say love and then turm me away
Don't be playin' the game that you don't know the meaning of
And if you can't say forever don't say love.

On T.V. and in the movies and in nearly every song
People say the words, "I love you" 'til the meaning's nearly gone
If you've never felt the way that only true love makes you feel
Then you still won't understand it and no words can make it real.

Don't say love if you don't mean what you say
Don't say love and then turn me away
Don't be playing the game that you don't know the meaning of
And if you can't say forever don't say love.

It's all right to say you like me or I'm fun to be around
But don't say love unless you mean it 'cause that really brings me down
This is not a one-time feeling I'm not out for just a thrill
And I've got to know for certain that your love for me is real.

Don't say love if you don't mean what you say
Don't say love and then turn me away
Don't be playing a game if you don't know the meaning of
And if you can't say forever don't say love.

Don't say love if you don't mean what you say
Don't say love and then turn me away
Don't be playing the game that you don't know the meaning of
And if you can't say forever don't say love.

And if you can't say forever don't say love...

"Donegal Shore"

"Donegal Shore"


Of days that are gone and comming no more.
For the girl I dream of has another man's love,
Far, far away at my Donegal shore.

But why should I care, for she's happy o'er there
She may have children she may be wealthy or poor
But I can't help my dreams of what might have been
If id stayed at home at my Donegal Shore.

Now it's wintertime there, all the trees will be bare
And the rainclouds will darken my native dawn
But if that girl I could hold every raindrop would be gold
It would fall all around us on my Donegal shore.

Now there's noone to blame, but before she took his name
When she told me she loved him it hurt to the core
But I could never descend to be only her friend
So I left her there on my Donegal shore.

Now it's wintertime there, all the trees will be bare
And the rainclouds will darken my native dawn
But if that girl I could hold every raindrop would be gold
It would fall all around us on my Donegal shore.

But if that girl I could hold every raindrop would be gold
It would fall all around us on my Donegal shore

"Donna"

"Donna"


Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna

I had a girl
Donna was her name
Since she left me
I've never been the same
'Cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be?
Where can you be?

Now that you're gone
I'm left all alone
All by myself
To wander and roam
'Cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be?
Where can you be?

Well, darlin', now that you're gone
I don't know what I'll do
All time and all my love for you

I had a girl
Donna was her name
Since she left me
I've never been the same
'Cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be?
Where can you be?

Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna

Oh, Donna!

No, I don't wanna dream

"Dublin In The Rare Ould Times"

"Dublin In The Rare Ould Times"


Raised on songs and stories,
Heroes of renown,
The passing tales and glories
That once was Dublin Town.
The hallowed halls and houses,
The haunting childrens rhymes
That once was Dublin City
In the rare ould times.

[Chorus:]
Ring a ring a rosey
As the light declines
I remember Dublin City
In the rare ould times.

My name it is Sean Dempsey,
As Dublin as can be
Born hard and late in Pimlico,
In a house that ceased to be.
By trade I was a cooper,
Lost out to redundancy.
Like my house that fell to progress,
My trade's a memory.
And I courted Peggy Dignan,
As pretty as you please,
A rogue and child of Mary,
From the rebel Liberties.
I lost her to a student chap,
With skin as black as coal.
When he took her off to Birmingham,
She took away my soul.

[Chorus:]
Ring a ring a rosey
As the light declines
I remember Dublin City
In the rare ould times.

The years have made me bitter,
The gargle's dimmed me brain,
'Cause Dublin keeps on changing,
And nothing seems the same.
The Pillar and the Met. have gone,
The Royal long since pulled down,
As the grey unyielding concrete,
Makes a city of my town.

[Chorus:]
Ring a ring a rosey
As the light declines
I remember Dublin City
In the rare ould times.

Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey,
I can no longer stay,
And watch the new glass cages,
That spring up along the Quay.
My mind's too full of memories,
Too old to hear new chimes,
I'm part of what was Dublin,
In the rare ould times.

[Chorus:]
Ring a ring a rosey
As the light declines
I remember Dublin City
In the rare ould times.

Ring a ring a rosey
As the light declines
I remember Dublin City
In the rare ould times.

"Everything Is Beautiful"

"Everything Is Beautiful"


Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world.

Everything is beautiful in its' own way
Like a starry summer night or a snow covered winter's day
And everybody's beautiful in their own way
Under God's heaven, the world's gonna find a way.

There is none so blind as he who will not see
We must not close our minds, we must let our thought be free
For every hour that passes by, you know the world gets a little bit older
It's time to realize that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

Everything is beautiful in its' own way
Like a starry summer night or a snow covered winter's day
Ah, sing it children
(Everybody's beautiful in their own way)
Under God's heaven, the world's gonna find a way.

We shouldn't care about the length of his hair or the color of his skin
Don't worry about what shows from without but the love that lives within
We're gonna get it all together now and everything gonna work out fine
Just take a little time to look on the good side my friend
And straighten it out in your mind.

Everything is beautiful in its' own way
Like a starry summer night or a snow covered winter's day
Everybody's beautiful in their own way
Under God's heaven, the world's gonna find a way.

Everything is beautiful in its' own way
Like a starry summer night or a snow covered winter's day
Everybody's beautiful in their own way
Under God's heaven, the world's gonna find a way.

Under God's heaven, the world's gonna find a way.

"Excuse Me (I Think I've Got A Heartache)"

"Excuse Me (I Think I've Got A Heartache)"


They just don't know how lost I feel without you
My teardrops never see the light of day
I laugh and joke each time they talk about you
But if they heard my heart they'd hear it say

Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
There's an aching deep inside, it just won't be denied
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
And I better say goodbye before I cry

I guess it's pride that makes me hide my sorrow
I live a lie in all I do and say
My lips may lie and paint a bright tomorrow
But if I told the truth I'd have to say

Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
There's an aching deep inside, it just won't be denied
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
And I better say goodbye before I cry
Yes, I better say goodbye before I cry

"Far Side Banks Of Jordan"

"Far Side Banks Of Jordan"


I believe my steps are growing wearier each day
Still I've got a journey on my mind.
The lures of this old world have ceased to make me want to stay
But my one regret is leaving you behind.

If it should prove to be His will that I am first to cross
And somehow I've a feeling it will be.
When it comes your time to travel, likewise don't feel lost
For I will be the first one that you see.

And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan.
I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand.
And when I see you coming, I will rise up with a shout
And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand.

Through this world we labor hard to earn our meager fare

It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes.
I'll just rest here on the shore and turn my head away
Until you come and we'll see Paradise.

And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan.
I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand.
And when I see you coming, I will rise up with a shout
And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand.

Yes I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan.
I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand.
And when I see you coming, I will rise up with a shout
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand.
