Danny Boy

The valley is hushed
The flowers are all dying
The meadow here is white
With the winter snow
Lord, as I stand
In the place where Danny's lying
I say a silent prayer
Somehow I know
He is 'neath there
So soft I tread above him
So now he sleeps in peace
He is Danny's voice
No more

O Danny boy,
The pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen,
And down the mountain side
The summer's gone,
And all the flowers are dying
Tis' you, tis' you, must go and I must bide

But come ye back
When sunshine's on the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
Tis' I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
O Danny boy, O Danny boy,
I love you so

And if you come,
And all the flowers are dying,
And I'm as dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and see
The place where I am lying
And kneel, and say and Ave there for me
And I shall hear you softly tread above me
And on my grave will warm and sweeter be
And you shall kneel and whisper that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me
The valley is hushed...
And the flowers they're all dying
