She put it right between my lips and I bit down with delight
And I asked her, I'd she anything,
she handed me a light
And with that light I took a drag and I watched the world go by
You were mine and I was yours and our limit was the sky
And we watched time go by
Well I told her, ask me anything, she asked
me how to cry And when I think of you I know forever I
will be
Happy as a fool because together we are free
We cantered on by the statue where once Phil and it stood
Met by a scoby being hoisted outside Mary's pub
You'd never seen the like before or ever seen so daft
And the cobbles were lit up by the enchantment of your love
And we watched time go by
Well I told her,
ask me anything,
she asked me how to cry And when I
think of you I know forever I will be
Happy as a fool because together we are free
We watched the buskers play at June in Lower
Grafton Street And I tried to *** your finger
but I wasn't so discreet
You smiled and braced my hand and pulled me
into some old bear And we drank a drop and we twirled and talked
about our life so far
And we watched time go by
Well I told her,
ask me anything,
she asked me how to cry
And when I think of you I know forever I will be
Happy as a fool because together we are free
Well he swallowed down his last drop and began to feel the heat
And he gestured to the bear man that it was his time to leave
With a cap upon his head he thought of home in Skibbereen
Said we were the finest couple that his eyes had ever seen
And we watched the time go by
Well I told her,
ask me anything,
she asked me how to cry
And when I think of you I know forever I will be
Happy as a fool because together we are free
Now she boards her plane back to her home in Amsterdam
She'll study for the year before turning to Ireland
She said she loves a man and he is stationed far away
With him her precious love she says forever it will stay
And we watched the time go by
Well I told her, ask me anything, she asked
me how to cry And when I think of you I know forever I will
be Happy as a fool because together we are free
