Daniel O'Donnell - Moonlight in Mayo lyrics

It was 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 hearher sweet voice soft and low I know she's waiting where we said goodbye in old Mayo CHORUS For two irish eyes are shining And an Irish heart is pining And 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 Her Irish eyes like beacons shine all in the darkest night I know the sweet love beams below 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 CHORUS
