"Limerick You're A Lady"

"Limerick You're A Lady"


Limerick you're a lady
Your Shannon waters tears of joy that flow
The beauty that surrounds you
I'll take it with me love where e'er I go.

While waking in the arms of distant waters
A new day finds me far away from home
And Limerick you're my lady
The one true love that I have ever known.

As children you and I spent endless days of fun
In winter's snow or summer's golden sun
We fished in silver streams, the fabric of my dreams
Was fashioned by your loveliness and so I have to say.

[Chorus:]
Limerick you're a lady
Your Shannon waters tears of joy that flow
The beauty that surrounds you
I'll take it with me love where e'er I go.

While waking in the arms of distant waters
A new day finds me far away from home
And Limerick you're my lady
The one true love that I have ever known.

The difference time has made, for travellers on their way
Seeking out the beauty of my land
At shrines the children play, and bells ring out to say
Thank God we're living just to feel the freedom of each day.

[Chorus:]
Limerick you're a lady
Your Shannon waters tears of joy that flow
The beauty that surrounds you
I'll take it with me love where e'er I go.

While waking in the arms of distant waters
A new day finds me far away from home
And Limerick you're my lady
The one true love that I have ever known.

While waking in the arms of distant waters
A new day finds me far away from home
And Limerick you're my lady
The one true love that I have ever known.

The one true love that I have ever known...

"Little Arrows"

"Little Arrows"


There's a boy
A little boy
Shootin' arrows in the blue
And he's aiming them at someone
But the question is at who.
Is it me or is it you -
It's hard to tell until you're hit
But you know it when they hit you
'Cause they hurt a little bit.
Here they come pouring out of the blue

Little arrows for me and for you

You're falling in love again

Falling in love again.
Little arrows in your clothing

Little arrows in your hair

When you're in love you'll find
Those little anows everywhere

Little arrows that will hit you once
And hit you once again

Little arrows that hit everybody
Every now and then.
Oh
Oh
Oh
The pain.

Some folks run and others hide
But there ain't nothing they can do
And some folks put on armor
But the arrows go straight through.
So you can see there's no escape

So why not face it and admit

That you love those little arrows
When they hurt a little bit.
Here they come pouring out of the blue...

"Little Cabin Home On The Hill"

"Little Cabin Home On The Hill"


But in my heart there's a longing for you still
All I've got to do now is sit alone and cry
In our little cabin home on the hill.

Oh, someone has taken you from me
And left me here all alone
Listen to the rain beat on my window pane
In our little cabin home on the hill.

I hope you are happy tonight as you are
But in my heart there's a longing for you still
But I'll just keep it there so I won't be alone
In our little cabin home on the hill.

Now when you have come to the end of the way
And find there's no more happiness for you
Just let you thoughts turn back once more if you will
To our little cabin home on the hill...

Oh, someone has taken you from me
And left me here all alone
Listen to the rain beat on my window pane
In our little cabin home on the hill.

Oh, someone has taken you from me
And left me here all alone
Listen to the rain beat on my window pane
In our little cabin home on the hill.

In our little cabin home on the hill...

"Little Ole Wine Drinker Me"

"Little Ole Wine Drinker Me"


I'm prayin' for rain in California
So the grapes can grow and they can make more wine
And I'm sittin' in a honky in Chicago
With a broken heart and a woman on my mind

I've asked the man behind the bar for the jukebox
And the music takes me back to Tennessee
When they ask who's the fool in the corner cryin'
I say, little ole wine drinker me

I came here last week from down in Nashville
'Cause my baby left for Florida on a train
I thought I'd get a job and just forget her
But in Chicago, a broken heart is still the same

I've asked the man behind the bar for the jukebox
And the music takes me back to Tennessee
When they ask who's the fool in the corner cryin'
I say, little ole wine drinker me
I say, little ole wine drinker me

"Live, Laugh, Love"

"Live, Laugh, Love"


Gonna take all the trouble tomorrow might bring and put it away
Gonna drink every drop of happiness till they cover me up
I'm gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love.

I've got a buddy that wakes up worryin 'bout stocks and bonds
He's up and he's down and he only smiles when the market's strong
Spent my whole week's wages at the dance on saturday night
I won't ever grow portfolio but that's alright.

I'm gonna live, laugh and love just for today
Gonna take all the trouble tomorrow might bring and put it away
Gonna drink every drop of happiness till they cover me up
I'm gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love.

I've got a cabin in the country and the tin roof rattles when the rain comes down
But the wind through pine helps me unwind by the world comes round
I've got a woman that fills my heart so full that it over flows
How it gets better than this, brother I don't know.

I'm gonna live, laugh and love just for today
Gonna take all the trouble tomorrow might bring and put it away
Gonna drink every drop of happiness till they cover me up
I'm gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love.

I'm gonna live laugh and love just for today
Gonna take all the trouble and put it away
Gonna drink every drop of happiness and cover it up
Gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love.

I'm gonna live laugh and love just for today
I'm gonna take all the trouble tomorrow might bring and put it away
Gonna drink every drop of happiness and cover it up
I'm gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love.

I'm gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love...

"Living Next Door To Alice"

"Living Next Door To Alice"


Sally called, when she got the word,
She said 'I suppose you've heard about Alice.'
So, I rushed to the window, and I looked outside,
And I could hardly believe my eyes,
A big limousine pulled slowly into Alice's drive.

I don't why why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know,
'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice.
Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance,
To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
Now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice.

We grew up together, two kids in the park,
Carved our initials deep in the bark
Me and Alice.
Now she walks to the door with her head held high,
And just for a moment, I caught her eye,
As the big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive.

I don't why why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know,
'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice.
Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance,
To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
Now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice.

Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt,
She said 'I know how to help get over Alice.'
She said 'Now, Alice is gone, but I'm still here.
And you know I've been waiting twenty four years'
And the big limousine disappeared

I don't why why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know,
'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice.
Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance,
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance,
But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice.

No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice

"Love, Hope And Faith"

"Love, Hope And Faith"


We all need a path of life to walk along
And someone to show the way and right from wrong
Sometimes the life we made will let us stray
And that's where we need a hand to show us the way

We need Love, Hope and Faith, to build our lives on
We need Love, Hope and Faith, together as one
And with Love, Hope and Faith, the way will be shown
When you got Love, Hope and Faith, we'll never alone

The gift of Love is there for all mankind
It's in our hearts, it's there for us to find
And even when we feel that Hope has gone
It's our loving Faith that helps us carry on

We need Love, Hope and Faith, to build our lives on
We need Love, Hope and Faith, together as one
And with Love, Hope and Faith, the way will be shown
When you got Love, Hope and Faith, we'll never alone

We need Love, Hope and Faith, to build our lives on
We need Love, Hope and Faith, together as one
And with Love, Hope and Faith, the way will be shown
When you got Love, Hope and Faith, we'll never alone

"Lovely Rose Of Clare"

"Lovely Rose Of Clare"


Oh my lovely rose of Clare,
You're the sweetest girl I know,
You're the Queen of all the roses
Like the pretty flowers that grow,
You are the sunshine of my life
So beautiful and fair,
And I will always love you.
My lovely Rose of Clare.

Oh the sun it shines out like a jewel,
On the lovely hills of Clare,
As I strolled along with my sweet lass,
One evening at the fair,
Her eyes they shone like silver streams,
Her long and golden hair,
For I have won the heart of one.
My lovely Rose of Clare.

As we walked down by the river bank,
Watched the Shannon flowing by,
And listened to the nightingale,
Singing songs for you and I,
And to say farewell To all you true and fair,
For I have stolen the heart of one,
My lovely Rose of Clare.
