Mother Machree Lyrics
Mother Machree (慈母颂) - Cavan O'Connor
There's a spot in me heart
Which no colleen may own
There's a depth in me soul
Never sounded or known
There's a place in my memory
My life that you fill
No other can take it no one ever will
Sure I love the dear silver
That shines in your hair
And the brow that's all furrowed
And wrinkled with care
I kiss the dear fingers so toil worn for me
Oh god bless you and keep you
Mother machree
Every sorrow or care
In the dear days gone by
Was made bright by the light
Of she smile in your eye
Like a candle that's set
In a window at night
Your fond love has cheered me
And guided me right
Sure I love the dear silver
That shines in your hair
And the brow that's all furrowed
And wrinkled with care
I kiss the dear fingers so toil worn for me
Oh god bless you and keep you
Mother machree
