Moonlight In Mayo

Moonlight In Mayo - Wildlife

It just a year ago today

I left old erin's isle

My heart was throbbin in the

Soft light of my colleen's smile

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

For two irish eyes are shining

And an irish heart is pining

When i kissed her and caressed her

In the gloaming long ago

Loving irish arms will press me

And true irish love caress me

And sweet irish lips will bless me

When it's moonlight in mayo

Two irish eyes like beacons

Shine all in the darkest night

I know the sweet love glow will

Always fill the world with light

The roses of her cheeks will

Lend enchantment to the sea

And when shamrocks wear the dew

I'll wed my sweet colleen

For two irish eyes are shining

And an irish heart is pining

When i kissed her and caressed her

In the gloaming long ago

Loving irish arms will press me

And true irish love caress me

And sweet irish lips will bless me

When it's moonlight in mayo
