"Follow Your Dream"

"Follow Your Dream"

The road we walk is long and lonely
And you only get to live one life
So if you've a dream that you believe in
To make it real you may have to find

Slaming doors and tears of heartache
Cruel words that like a knife cut through your heart
But they all mean nothing if deep inside your dream is right

[Chorus:]
And the light of hope shine wiser brightly
The finest place that you ever seen
And they light the way to the darkest hour
As you follow your dream

The path you take may lead to places
The live and love are strange and new
You mustn't change for the sake of changing
As what you are is inside of you

The wave roll on in an endless motion
And they wash my footsteps from the sand
But they'll never wash away all my memories
Of the love we shared and the songs we sang

"Fool Such As I"

"Fool Such As I"

Pardon me if I'm sentimental when we say goodbye
Don't be angry with me should I cry
When you're gone, yet I'll dream a little dream as years go by
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love and now you say that we are through
I'm a fool but I'll love you dear until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love and now you say that we are through
I'm a fool but I'll love you dear until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I

"Footsteps"

"Footsteps"

Footsteps walking with me
Footsteps I cannot see
But every move I make
And every step I take
I know they're there with me
They walk with me all the way
Beside me day by day
Through good and bad
Through happy and sad
Those footsteps won't go away

I'll never walk in life alone
There'll always be someone there
I know He won't let me down
He's with me everywhere
The special things in life I've done
Have been through Him and His love
I've been blessed in so many ways

Footsteps walking with me
Footsteps I cannot see
But every move I make
And every step I take
I know they're there with me
They walk with me all the way
Beside me day by day
Through good and bad
Through happy and sad
Those footsteps won't go away

I think that my life's been planned
By the one who's guiding me
When I'm led by the hand
Of someone I can't see
I'm not always sure where to go
That's when I follow his lead
I know that the pathway that He shows
Will help me to succeed

Footsteps walking with me (footsteps walking)
Footsteps I cannot see (I cannot see)
But every move I make
And every step I take
I know they're there with me
They walk with me all the way
Beside me day by day (day by day)
Through good and bad
Through happy and sad
Those footsteps won't go away
Through good and bad
Through happy and sad
By my side they will stay

"For The Good Times"

"For The Good Times"

Don't look uptight, I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that are burning

So lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time.
For the good times

I'll get along, you'll find another
But I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me

So lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time

For the good times
For the good times

"Forty Shades Of Green"

"Forty Shades Of Green"

I close my eyes and picture
The emerald of the sea
From the fishing boats at Dingle
To the shores of Dunardee

I miss the river Shannon
And the folks at Skibbereen
The moorlands and the meadows
With their forty shades of green

But most of all I miss a girl
In Tipperary town
And most of all I miss her lips
Those soft as eiderdown

Again I want to see and do
The things we've done and seen
Where the breeze is sweet as Shalimar
And there's forty shades of green

I wish that I could spend an hour
At Dublin's churning surf
I'd love to watch the farmers
Drain the bogs and spade the turf

To see again the thatching
Of the straw the women glean
I'd walk from Cork to Larne to see
The forty shades of green

But most of all I miss a girl
In Tipperary town
And most of all I miss her lips
So soft as eiderdown

Again I want to see and do
The things we've done and seen
Where the breeze is sweet as Shalimar
And there's forty shades of green
Where the breeze is sweet as Shalimar
And there's forty shades of green

"Four Country Roads"

"Four Country Roads"

Four country roads, winding to a town in County Galway
Four country roads, leading to the friends I left behind
Four dusty roads, winding to the town of Glenamaddy
Four dusty roads, forever in the caverns of my mind

Once in a while
I hear the sound of music in the winter night
I see now and then
The trees where we sheltered from the rain
And once in a while
I see us walking home in the morning light
And oft are the times
I long to see my home town once again

Four roads to Glenamaddy
Four roads that drift apart
Four roads to Glenamaddy
Are the four dusty byways to my heart

One country road
Led me to the schoolhouse by the meadow
And one country road
To the churchyard where my Mum and Daddy lie
One dusty road
Where I strolled with a loved one in the shadows
And one dusty road
That led me on my journey far away

"Four In The Morning"

"Four In The Morning"

It's four in the morning and once more the dawning
Just woke up the wanting in me
Wishin' I'd never met her, knowing if I forget her
How much better off she would be

The longer I hold on, the longer this goes on
The harder that it's going to be
But it's four in the morning and once more the dawning
Just woke up the wanting in me

I'd never desert her, God knows when I hurt her
That's the last thing that I want to do
She tries, but she can't tell how she feels
But I know, too well, just what she's going through

If I love her so much, I don't know why I can't do
The right thing and just let her be
But it's four in the morning and once more the dawning
Just woke up the wanting in me

Last night I told her, "This time it's all over"
Making two times I've told her goodbye
Last night, we broke up, this morning I woke up
And for the fifth time, I'm changing my mind

I saw more love in her eyes when I left her
Than most foolish men will ever see
An' it's four in the morning and once more the dawning
Just woke up the wanting in me

It's four in the morning and once more the dawning
Just woke up the wanting in me
Wishin' I'd never met her

"From A Jack To A King"

"From A Jack To A King"

From a jack to a king
From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played a ace and I won a queen
And walked away with your heart.

From a jack to a king
With no regrets I stacked the cards last night
And lady luck played her hand just right
She made me king of your heart.

For just a little while
I thought that I might lose the game
Then just in time I saw
The twinkle in your eyes.

From a jack to a king
From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an ace and I won a queen
You made me king of your heart.

[Instrumental]

For just a little while
I thought that I might lose the game
Then just in time I saw
The twinkle in your eyes.

From a jack to a king
From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an ace and I won a queen
You made me king of your heart...

"From Here To There To You"

"From Here To There To You"

From here to there to you my letter is on its way
To tell you how I miss you ever since you sailed away
To tell you things are not the same when I'm so far from you
I'm sending all my love from here to there to you
From here to there to you and that's oh so far away
Across this little painted map from here to there to you
I wish that I could go myself across this ocean of blue
Along with my love letter from here to there to you

[Piano]

From here to there to you...

"Galway Bay"

"Galway Bay"

If you ever go across the sea to Ireland,
Then maybe at the closing of your day;
You will sit and watch the moonrise 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;
And to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin,
And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play,

For the breezes blowing over the seas from Ireland,
Are perfumed by the heather as they blow;
And the women in the uplands digging praties,
Speak a language that the strangers do not know,

For the strangers came and tried to teach their way,]
They scorned us just for being what we are;
But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams,
Or light a penny candle from a star.

And if there is going to be a life hereafter,
And somehow I am 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.
