It's Just A Year Ago
It's just a year ago today
I left old Aaron's Isle
My heart was dropping in the sunshine
How my Colleen smiled
In all my dreams I seem to hear
Her sweet voice, soft and low
I know she's waiting where we said
Goodbye in Old Mayo
Now two Irish eyes are shining
And an Irish heart is pining
Where I kissed Durant Carrester
In the gloaming long ago
Loving Irish arms will press me
With true Irish love caress me
And sweet Irish lips will bless me
When it's moonlight in Mayo
Her Irish eyes like beacons shine
Out through the darkest night
I know their sweet love glow
Will always fill the world with light
The roses on her cheeks
Will lend enchantment to the sea
And where the shamrock wears the dew
I'll wed my sweet Colleen
Now two Irish eyes are shining
And an Irish heart is pining
Where I kissed Durant Carrester
In the gloaming long ago
Loving Irish arms will press me
With true Irish love caress me
And sweet Irish lips will bless me
When it's moonlight in Mayo
And sweet Irish lips will bless me
When it's moonlight in Mayo
