Oh, gentle daughter, here come the wooing men
Oh, gentle mother, put the wheels in motion for me

Seaweed, seaweed, seaweed from the yellow cliff
Seaweed from Ireland
Seaweed, seaweed, seaweed from the ocean
Seaweed from Ireland

I would go to Niúir with the Irish seaweed
“I would buy expensive shoes,” said the Irish seaweed

Seaweed, seaweed, seaweed from the yellow cliff
Seaweed from Ireland
Seaweed, seaweed, seaweed from the ocean
Seaweed from Ireland

The Irish seaweed has beautiful black shoes
The stately seaweed has a beret and trousers

Seaweed, seaweed, seaweed from the yellow cliff
Seaweed from Ireland
Seaweed, seaweed, seaweed from the ocean
Seaweed from Ireland

Seaweed from the yellow cliff
Seaweed from Ireland

Oh, gentle daughter, here come the wooing men
Oh, gentle mother, put the wheels in motion for me

Seaweed, seaweed, seaweed from the yellow cliff
Seaweed from Ireland
Seaweed, seaweed, seaweed from the ocean
Seaweed from Ireland

There is a yellow gold head on the Gaelic seaweed
There are two blunt ears on the stately seaweed

Seaweed, seaweed, seaweed from the yellow cliff
Seaweed from Ireland
Seaweed, seaweed, seaweed from the ocean
Seaweed from Ireland

Seaweed from the yellow cliff, seaweed from Ireland
Seaweed from the yellow cliff, seaweed from Ireland

Seaweed from the yellow cliff, seaweed from Ireland
Seaweed from the yellow cliff, seaweed from Ireland

Isle Of Hope, Isle Of Tears lyrics - Celtic Thunder

On the first day of January,
Eighteen ninety-two,
They opened Ellis Island and they let
The people through.
And first to cross the threshold
Of that isle of hope and tears,
Was Annie Moore from Ireland
Who was all of fifteen years.

Isle of hope, isle of tears,
Isle of freedom, isle of fears,
But it's not the isle you left behind.
That isle of hunger, isle of pain,
Isle you'll never see again
But the isle of home is always on your mind.

In a little bag she carried
All her past and history,
And her dreams for the future
In the land of liberty.
And courage is the passport
When your old world disappears
But there's no future in the past
When you're fifteen years

Isle of hope, isle of tears,
Isle of freedom, isle of fears,
But it's not the isle you left behind.
That isle of hunger, isle of pain,
Isle you'll never see again
But the isle of home is always on your mind.

When they closed down Ellis Island
In nineteen forty-three,
Seventeen million people
Had come there for sanctuary.
And in springtime when I came here
And I stepped onto it's piers,
I thought of how it must have been
When you're fifteen years.

Isle of hope, isle of tears,
Isle of freedom, isle of fears,
But it's not the isle you left behind.
That isle of hunger, isle of pain,
Isle you'll never see again
But the isle of home is always on your mind.
The isle of home is always on your mind.

Past The Point Of Rescue lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Last night I dreamed you were back again
Larger than life again, holding me tight again
Placing those same kisses on my brow
Sweeter than ever now;
Lord, I remember how
Couldn’t get enough of kissing;
do you know how much you’re missing
No, you don’t, but I do

The days like a slow train trickle by
And even the words that I write refuse to fly
All I can hear is your song haunting me
Can’t get the melody out of my head, you see
Distractions are amusing; do you know how much you’re losing
No, you don’t, but I do

But I do, and I wonder if I’m past the point of rescue
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
I never meant to push or shove you;
do you know how much I love you
No, you don’t, but I do

I never meant to push or shove you;
do you know how much I love you
No, you don’t, but I do

I swore I’d never fall like this again
Fools like me never win;
I came to my knees again
I can’t close the door on likelihood
Things might be just as good;
always knew they would
Gotta let your love invite me;
girl, do you think it might be just as good
No, you don’t, but I do

Oh, but I do, and I wonder if I’m past the point of rescue
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
I never meant to push or shove you;
do you know how much I love you
No, you don’t, but I do

I do
I do
I do

Scorn Not His Simplicity lyrics - Celtic Thunder

See the child
With the golden hair
Yet eyes that show the emptiness inside
Do we know
Can we understand just how he feels
Or have we really tried
See him now
As he stands alone
And watches children play a children's game
Simple child
He looks almost like the others
Yet they know he's not the same
Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh no
Oh no
See him stare
Not recognizing the kind face
That only yesterday he loved
The loving face
Of a mother who can't understand
what she's been guilty of
How she cried, tears of happiness
the day the doctor told her it's a boy
Now she cries tears of helplessness
and thinks of all the things he can't enjoy
Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh no
Oh no
Only he knows how to face the future hopefully
Surrounded by despair
He won't ask for your pity or your sympathy
But surely you should care
Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no

Moondance lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Well, it’s a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
‘Neath the cover of October skies

And all the leaves on the trees are fallin’
To the sound of the breezes that blow
An’ I’m trying to please to the callin’
Of your heartstrings that play soft and low

And all the night’s magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?

Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I can’t wait ’til the morning has come
And I know now the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run

And when you come, my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you’re never alone
There and then, all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then, I will make you my own

And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you can’t hide
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?

And all the night’s magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?

Well, it’s a marvelous night for a moondance
Stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
‘Neath the cover of October skies

And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I’m trying to please to the calling
Of your heartstrings that play soft and low

And all the night’s magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?

One more moondance with you
In the moonlight, on a magic night
All the moonlight, on a magic night
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?

Song For The Mira lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Out on the Mira on warm afternoons
Old men go fishing with black line and spoons
And if they catch nothing they'll never complain
I wish I was with them again.

As boys in the boats call to girls on the shore
Teasing the ones that they dearly adore
And into the evening the courting begins
I wish I was with them again.

[Chorus:]
Can you imagine a piece of the universe
More fit for princes and kings?
I'll trade you ten of your cities
For Marion Bridge and the pleasure it brings

Out on the Mira on soft summer nights
Bonfires blaze to the children's delight
They dance 'round the flames singing songs with their friends
I wish I was with them again

And over the ashes the stories are told
Of witches and werewolves and Oak Island gold
The stars on the river they sparkle and spin
I wish I was with them again

[Chorus]
Can you imagine a piece of the universe
More fit for princes and kings?
I'll trade you ten of your cities
For Marion Bridge and the pleasure it brings

Out on the Mira the people are kind
They'll treat you to home-brew and help you unwind
And if you come broken you'll see that you mend
I wish I was with them again

Now I'll conclude with a wish you go well
Sweet be your dreams, and your happiness swell
I'll leave you here, for my journey begins
I'm going to be with them again.
I'm going to be with them again.

She's Always A Woman lyrics - Celtic Thunder

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child,
But she’s always a woman to me

She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she’ll never believe you
And she’ll take what you give her, as long as it’s free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she’s always a woman to me

Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She’s ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

And she’ll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she’ll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you’re bleedin’
But she’ll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she’s always a woman to me

Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She’s ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

She is frequently kind
And she’s suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She’s nobody’s fool
But she can’t be convicted
She’s earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she’s always a woman to me

Somewhere Over The Rainbow lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There’s a land that I’ve heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can’t I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can’t I?

All Day Long lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Every time you go away
I know it won’t be for long, though it seems
And all the times we spend apart
That ticking-tock clock seems to last for weeks

Well, I guess it is quite wrong
To expect you to climb up here each week
Yes, I guess it ain’t so long
Four hours on a bus for you’s a treat

And it won’t be long
And it won’t be long
All day long, I sit here
All day long, I sit here
All day long, I sit here
Thinkin’ bout you

Yes, I know there’s a million miles
And aeroplanes, well, they keep us apart
But when I sit alone at night on my bus, darling
Well, you’re in my heart

And it won’t be long
And it won’t be long
All day long, I sit here
Thinkin’ ’bout you
Thinkin’ ’bout you

So complicated times have passed
But I’m sorry, babe, I feel the same for you
Yes, I know I broke it off, but I’m sorry, babe,
You just didn’t stay true

And it won’t be long
And it won’t be long
All day long, I sit here thinkin’ ’bout
You

Cat's In The Cradle lyrics - Celtic Thunder

My child arrived just the other day
Came into the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talkin’ ‘fore I knew it, and as he grew
He’d say “I’m gonna be like you, Dad
You know I’m gonna be like you.”

Well, the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little Boy Blue and the Man in the Moon
“When you comin’ home, Dad?”
“I don’t know when, but we’ll get together then, son.
You know we’ll have a good time then.”

My son turned ten just the other day
He said, “Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on, let’s play.
Can you teach me to throw?” I said, “Not today
I got a lot to do”, he said, “That’s ok.”
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
And said, “I’m gonna be like him, yeah.
You know I’m gonna be like him.”

And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little Boy Blue and the Man in the Moon
“When you comin’ home, Dad?”
“I don’t know when, but we’ll get together then, son.
You know we’ll have a good time then.”

Well, he came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
“Son, I’m proud of you. Can you sit for a while?”
He shook his head and said with a smile,
“What I’d really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys.
See you later. Can I have them please?”

Well, the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little Boy Blue and the Man in the Moon
“When you comin’ home, son?”
“I don’t know when, but we’ll get together then, Dad.
You know we’ll have a good time then.”

Well, I’ve long since retired; my son’s moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, “I’d like to see you if you don’t mind.”
He said, “I’d love to, Dad, if I can find the time.
You see, my new job’s a hassle and the kids have the flu
But it’s sure nice talking to you, Dad.
It’s been sure nice talking to you.”

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
He’d grown up just like me
My boy was just like me

Well, the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little Boy Blue and the Man on the Moon
“When you comin’ home, son?”
“I don’t know when, but we’ll get together then, Dad.
You know we’ll have a good time then.”

Maid Of Culmore lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Leaving sweet lovely Derry for fair London town,
There is no finer harbor all around can be found,
Where the youngsters each evening go down to the shore,
And the joy bells are ringing for the maid of Culmore.

The first time I saw her she passed me by,
And the next time I saw her she bid me goodbye,
But the last time I saw her it grieved my heart so,
For she sailed down Loch Foyle and away from Culmore.

If I had the power the storms for to rise,
I would make the wind blow out and I'd darken the skies,
I'd make the wind blow high and the salt seas to roar,
Till the day that my darling sailed away from Culmore.

To the bad parts of America my love I'll go see,
For it's there I know no one and no one knows me,
But if I don't find her I'll return home no more,
Like a pilgrim I'll wander for the maid of Culmore.

All Out Of Love lyrics - Celtic Thunder

I’m lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you ’til it hurts
I know you’re hurt, too, but what else can we do?
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile in my heart
For times when my life seems so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow would bring
When today doesn’t really know, doesn’t really know

I’m all out of love, I’m so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I’m all out of love, what am I without you
I can’t be too late to say, “I was so wrong”

I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from these long lonely nights
I’m reaching for you; are you feeling it, too?
Does the feeling seem oh, so right?
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can’t hold on?
There’s no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I’ll be gone
I’ll be gone

I’m all out of love, I’m so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I’m all out of love, what am I without you
I can’t be too late to say, “I was so wrong”

Ooh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?

I’m all out of love, I’m so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I’m all out of love, what am I without you
I can’t be too late to say, “I was so wrong”

I’m all out of love, I’m so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I’m all out of love, what am I without you
I can’t be too late to say, “I was so wrong”

I’m all out of love, I’m so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I’m all out of love, what am I without you
I can’t be too late to say, “I was so wrong”

This Is The Moment lyrics - Celtic Thunder

This is the moment
This is the day
When I send all my doubts and demons
On their way

Every endeavor
I have made–ever
Is coming into play
Is here and now–today

This is the moment
This is the time
When the momentum and the moment
Are in rhyme

Give me this moment
This precious chance
I’ll gather up my past
And make some sense at last

This is the moment
When all I’ve done
All of the dreaming
Scheming and screaming
Become one

This is the day
See it sparkle and shine
When all I’ve lived for
Becomes mine

For all of these years
I’ve faced the world alone
And now the time has come
To prove to them
I’ve made it on my own

This is the moment
My final test
Destiny beckoned
I never reckoned
Second best

I won’t look down
I must not fall
This is the moment
The sweetest moment of them all

This is the moment
Damn all the odds
This day or never
I’ll sit forever
With the gods

When I look back
I will always recall
Moment for moment
This was the moment
The greatest moment
Of them all

The Galway Girl lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

We were halfway there when the rain came down
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
And she asked me up to her flat downtown
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl

When I woke up I was all alone
With a broken heart and a ticket home
And I ask you now, tell me what would you do
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
I've traveled around I've been all over this world
Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl

Falling Slowly lyrics - Celtic Thunder

I don’t know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can’t react
And games that never amount
To more than they’re meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice; you have a choice
You’ll make it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can’t go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I’m painted black
Well, you have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It’s time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice; you have a choice
You’ve made it now

Falling slowly sing your melody
I’ll sing it loud

Seven Drunken Nights lyrics - Celtic Thunder

As I went home on Monday night as drunk as drunk could be
I saw a horse outside the door where my old horse should be
Well, I called me wife and I said to her: “Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns that horse outside the door where my old horse should be?”

“Ah, you’re drunk,
You’re drunk, you silly old fool,
Still you can not see
That’s a lovely sow that me mother sent to me.”
“It’s many a day I’ve travelled a hundred miles or more
But a saddle on a sow sure I never saw before.”

And as I went home on Tuesday night as drunk as drunk could be
I saw a coat behind the door where my old coat should be
So I called me wife and I said to her: “Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns that coat behind the door where my old coat should be?”

“Ah, you’re drunk,
You’re drunk, you silly old fool,
Still you can not see
That’s a woollen blanket that me mother sent to me.”
“It’s many a day I’ve travelled a hundred miles or more
But buttons in a blanket sure I never saw before.”

As I went home on Wednesday night as drunk as drunk could be
I saw a pipe up on the chair where my old pipe should be
So I called his wife and I said to her: “Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns that pipe up on the chair where my old pipe should be?”

“Ah, you’re drunk,
You’re drunk, you silly old fool,
Still you can not see
That’s a lovely tin whistle that me mother sent to me.”
“It’s many a day I’ve travelled a hundred miles or more
But tobacco in a tin whistle sure I never saw before.”

And as I came home on a Thursday? …Thursday night as drunk as drunk could be
I-I-I saw two boots beneath the bed where my old boots should be
Well, I called me wife and I says to her: “Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns them boots beneath the bed where my old boots should be?”

“Ah, you’re drunk,
You’re drunk, you silly old fool,
Still you can not see
They’re two lovely geranium pots me mother sent to me.”
“Well, it’s many a day I’ve travelled a hundred miles or more
But laces in geranium pots I never saw before.”

Well, as I went home on Friday night as drunk as drunk could be
I saw a head upon the bed where my bald head should be
Well, I called me wife and I said to her: “Would you kindly tell to me
Who owns that head upon the bed where my old head should be?”

“Ah, you’re drunk,
You’re drunk, you silly old fool,
Still you can not see
That’s a baby boy that me mother sent to me.”
“Well, it’s many a day I’ve travelled a hundred miles or more
But a baby boy with his whiskers on sure I never saw before.”

“Ah, you’re drunk,
You’re drunk, you silly old fool,
Still you can not see
That’s a baby boy that me mother sent to me.”
“Well, it’s many a day I’ve travelled a hundred miles or more
But a baby boy with his whiskers on sure I never saw before.”

“But a baby boy with his whiskers on sure I never saw before.”

Girls, Girls, Girls lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls

Well, yellow, red, black or white
Add a little bit of moonlight
For this intercontinental romance
Shy girls, sexy girls
they all like that fancy world
Champagne, a gentle song, a slow dance
Who makes it fun to spend your money?
Who calls you honey most every day?

Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls

Well, they made ‘em up in Hollywood
And put ‘em into the movies
Those lovely photographic splendors
In and out of magazines
Miss World and beauty queens
Falling in love with the real big spenders.
But although their world may be frantic
They’re still romantic in their own way

So hop on, the world is swinging
Don’t sit and twiddle your thumbs
Get up and meet those pretty girls, girls, girls
Step on, the world keeps swinging
Put on the dazzling charm
Get up and find those pretty girls!

Don’t rush, keep it nice and gentle
And sentimental for that certain moment
Moonlit oceans, girls full of emotions
Stepping on that slow boat to China
And next door in Japan, they know how to please a man
Calling in for tea with my geisha
They’ve got that old-fashioned feeling
When it comes to pleasing, they know their way

So hop on, the world is swinging
Don’t sit and twiddle your thumbs
Get up and meet those pretty girls, girls, girls
Step on, the world keeps swinging
Put on the dazzling charm
Get up and find those pretty girls!

Don’t rush, keep it nice and gentle
And sentimental for that certain moment when you draw back the curtain

So hop on, the world is swinging
Don’t sit and twiddle your thumbs
Get up and meet those pretty girls

Ooh, forever

Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls

Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls

New Day Dawning lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
Over our mountains and valleys of green
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
And shining Your light from above

Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
Over our mountains and valleys of green
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
And shining Your light from above
All over this land that we love

This is our land; this is where we belong
Here between mountain and sea
Here is our future and here is our past
And here, we are destined to be

This is our land; this is where we belong
These are our fields and our farms
God gave us protection and gave us the right
And gave us the strength in our arms

Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
Over our mountains and valleys of green
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
And shining Your light from above
All over this land that we love

This is our land; this is where we will stay
And fight for the right to be here
This is the land where our fathers have spilled
Their blood and their sweat and their tears

This is our land; this is where we belong
And where we intend to remain
We'll drive the invader back over the sea
Again and again and again and again and again and again

Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
Over our mountains and valleys of green
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
And shining Your light from above
All over this land that we love

Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
Over our mountains and valleys of green
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
And shining Your light from above

Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
Over our mountains and valleys of green
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
And shining Your light from above
All over this land that we love
All over this land that we love

Outside Looking In lyrics - Celtic Thunder

I'm on the outside lookin' in,
But I like it this way.
Here on the outside lookin' in,
I see the games that they play.

I'm on the outside lookin' in,
But I don't really care.
Here in the outside lookin' in,
'Long as I get my share.
You know that I'll take my share…

When it's late at night,
They blow out the light,
And although they might be sleein'.
If they hear a sound,
I may be around,
And they know I could be creepin', (creepin' creepin')

They must be aware,
If they think I'm there, it's a very scary feelin'!
Lyin' in their beds,
Running through their heads,
Is one thought-what is he stealin'?

I'm on the outside lookin' in,
But I like it this way.
Here on the outside lookin' in,
I see the games that they play.
I'm on the outside lookin' in,
But I don't really care.
Here in the outside lookin' in,
'Long as I get my share.
You know that I'll take my share…

I can hear then tell
I'm a hound of hell,
As they get the smell of danger.
As I'm coming near
I can taste their fear
Of the dark and deadly stranger.

They know who I am
I don't give a damn,
I could lead ev'ry lamb to the slaughter.
So be on your guard
For my calling card,
And be sure, to lock up your daughters.

They keep us outside lookin' in,
My sister and me.
And if we're outside lookin' in,
That's the way it will be.

We're on the outside lookin' in,
But we don't really care.
Here on the outside lookin' in,
'Long as we get our share,
You know that we'll take our share.

We're on the outside lookin' in,
We're on the outside lookin' in,
We're on the outside lookin' in.

When You Are 18 lyrics - Celtic Thunder

When you are eighteen,
You're a man who is ready,
Who is strong and who's steady,
You know what I mean?
When you are eighteen,
Then you should be respected,
And you don't need protected,
When you are eighteen.

When you are eighteen,
You are braver and bolder
Than that crowd who are older,
You know what I mean?
'Cos when you are eighteen,
With all those years to prepare you,
There's nothing can scare you,
When you are eighteen.

I'm ready to travel,
To follow my star
To the places I've been dreaming of.
I'm ready for living;
I'm ready for life
And I know that I'm ready for love…

But when you are eighteen
They say "Love's complicated
And so over-rated",
You know what I mean?
When you are eighteen,
They say "Wait, and don't worry",
And "Hey! What's your hurry
'Cos you're only eighteen".

I'm ready to travel,
To follow my star
To the places I've been dreaming of.
I'm ready for living;
I'm ready for life
And I know that I'm ready for love…

When you are eighteen,
With the world all around you,
It can sometimes astound you,
You know what I mean?
Just how little they know, ha,
All those cowboys and chancers,
I've got more of the answers….
And I'm only eighteen.

Life In The Old Dog Yet lyrics - Celtic Thunder

In my time I've been a few places,
And I've many a story to tell.
Here I am still as strong
As I've been all along,
I'm not ready for heaven or hell.
There are people who do need reminding,
That I'm still the boss around here.
I still call every shot,
And I'll tell you what's what,
And what's not, do I make myself clear.

I'm not ready to roll over
I'm still, the daddy of the all,
I'm still the top banana,
They still answer when I call.
I'm older, yes, but I'm wiser,
And they better not forget,
I'm not ready to roll over
'Cos there's life in the old dog yet.

You can't put an old head on young shoulders
My advice is the best I can give
Let them make their mistakes;
Let them fight for their rights;
Let them learn how to love and to live.

I've only got the one daughter,
Time she married a man of her own,
And the one I have planned
Has got plenty of land,
She'll be grand, and I'll stand all alone.

I'm not ready to roll over
I'm still, the daddy of the all,
I'm still the top banana,
They still answer when I call.
I'm older, yes, but I'm wiser,
And they better not forget,
I'm not ready to roll over
'Cos there's life in the old dog yet.

I'm not ready to roll over
I'm still, the daddy of the all,
I'm still the top banana,
They still answer when I call.
I'm older, yes, but I'm wiser,
And they better not forget,
I'm not ready to roll over
'Cos there's life in the old dog yet.

'Cos there's life in this old dog yet.

Not The One lyrics - Celtic Thunder

She is young, and oh! So pretty,
With a twinkle in her eyes
And just the kind of features
To make a young man sigh.
She is sweet and she is sunny,
Just like a morn in May,
She's just the kind of creature
Who could steal your heart away…
But…

She's not the one that's meant for me,
The one that Heaven-sent for me.
I know, although I haven't found her yet,
She's not the one, she's not the one
She's not the one that I'll care for,
The one I'll always be there for.
Don't ask the why or the wherefore…
I know…
She's not the one, she's not the one

Can her smile light up the morning?
Can her laughter lift the night?
Can she hold you when you're troubled,
And make everything alright?
Can she fill each waking moment?
Who knows? Perhaps she can,
And yes, I realize
She'd be a prize for any man
But…

She's not the one that's meant for me,
The one that Heaven-sent for me.
I know, although I haven't found her yet,
She's not the one, she's not the one
She's not the one that I'll care for,
The one I'll always be there for.
Don't ask the why or the wherefore…
I know…
She's not the one,
she's not the one.

Don't ask the why or the wherefore…
I know…
She's not the one,
She's not the one for me

Stand And Deliver lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Look out! There's danger all about,
Can't you feel it in the air,
Look out! There's danger all about,
You had better beware.
Ooh, ooh. Under darkening skies,
Ohh, ooh. There's a full moon on the rise.

Look out! There's a Highwayman about,
No traveler is safe on the road.
Look out! And never be in doubt,
This night is about to explode.
Ooh, ooh. From the shadows he's suddenly there,
Ooh, ooh. Then you will hear him declare.

Stand and Deliver!
I'll take your money or your life.
Stand and Deliver!
And tonight, I just might
Take your wife!
Hahahaha!

Look out! A coach has been surprised
Crossing Branagan's Moor.
No doubt, the gold that's been excised
Will be given to the poor!
Ooh, ooh. For the poor are being squeezed everyday,
My fine friend's, give it up, now it's your turn to pay.

Stand and Deliver!
I'll take your money or your life.
Stand and Deliver!
And tonight, I just might
Take your wife!
Hahahaha!

Look out! The gentry and the rich,
For I have taken an oath.
Look out! No matter which is which,
I will steal from you both!
Ooh, ooh. Who will stand up for the weak.
Ooh,ooh. Yes, mine is the voice that will speak.

Stand and Deliver!
I'll take your money or your life.
Stand and Deliver!
And tonight, I just might
Take your wife!

Stand and Deliver!
I'll take your money or your life.
Stand and Deliver!

Stand and Deliver!
I'll take your money or your life.
Stand and Deliver!
And tonight, I just might
Take your wife!

The Highwayman lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Who is this stranger
Who breaks ev'ry rule?
The Hightwayman.

He isn't a rogue, and he isn't a fool.
The Highwayman.

He is dashing and daring
The devil may care
The Highwayman.

With a glint in his eye,
And the wind in his hair
The Highwayman.

Who is the Highwayman?
Who is the Highwayman?

He's rough, but he's handsome,
He's gentle but strong,
The Highwayman.

They say he's a nobleman
Who has gone wrong,
The Highwayman.

He'll take all your jewels,
But do it with style,
The Highwayman.

As he pockets your diamonds
He'll flash you a smile,
The Highwayman.

Who is the Highwayman?
Who is the Highwayman?

I've never known anyone like him,
He's like no one that I've ever met.
How easy he'll be to remember
How hard he will be to forget.

He's stolen for Princes,
He's stolen form Earls,
The Highwayman.

But his greatest pleasure
Is stealing from girls,
The Highwayman.

You'll feel empty inside
When you see him depart,
The Highwayman.

You may not realize
But he's stolen your heart,
The Highwayman.

Who is the Highwayman?
Who is the Highwayman?

Lagan Love lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Love, my Lagan love,
My Lagan love.

Where Lagan stream sing lullaby,
There blows a lily fair.
The twilight gleam is in her eye,
The night is on her hair.
And like a love-sick lennan-shee
She hath my heart in thrall
No life have I, no liberty
For love is lord of all

My Lagan love.

And sometimes when the beetles horn
Hath lulled the eve to sleep
I steal unto her shieling low
And through her dooreen peep
There on the cricket's singing stone
She stirs the bog wood fire
And hums in soft sweet undertones
The song of heart's desire

The song of heart's desire

Midnight Well lyrics - Celtic Thunder

In the town, the people stay away
From the midnight well
For it's dark and evil, so they say
The midnight well

They'll tell you a tale of a lovely young maid
The fairest that they'd ever known
What a beauty, they say
But she went her own way
On that night, she set out on her own

For they say, she had a rendez-vous
At the midnight well
With a gypsy man she barely knew
At the midnight well

Nobody knew where he came from
But they remember the fire in his eyes
His earring of gold
And his hair black as coal
And a look that could just hypnotize

When he said
Come away, come away with me
Come here and lay with me
Come away out of the light
Come away, come away
Come and ride with me into the night

Never more, they never saw her face
At the midnight well
She was gone, and never left a trace
At the midnight well

They say when the summer nights come to an end
The harvest moon glows in the sky
A black horse will appear and a sound you will hear
As the ghost of a gypsy flies by

And he says
Come away, come away with me
Come here and lay with me
Come away out of the light
Come away, come away
Come and ride with me into the night

Come away, come away with me
Come here and lay with me
Come away out of the light
Come away, come away
Come and ride with me into the night

Come away, come away with me
Come here and lay with me
Come away out of the light
Come away, come away
Come and ride with me into the night

Shadow's Dancing lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Shadows, shadows dancing
Shadows, shadows dancing
again and again, and again and again

Shadows dancing in the moonlight
Shadows dancing in the dark
Memories, dancing for me…..

Shadows, shadows dancing
Shadows, shadows dancing
again and again, and again and again

Come to me, come to me, feel my passion
Come fulfill my fantasy,
Come and be my phantom lover,
Be my man of mystery.
Never ever thought how much I'd want you
Never ever thought I'd be ready to scream
Will I ever feel your body near me?
Only in a never-ending dream,
In a never-ending…….

Shadows dancing in the moonlight
Shadows dancing in the dark
Memories, dancing for me…..

Shadows

Harry's Game lyrics - Celtic Thunder

The moon and the sun

The moon and the sun will go
And the young man
With his reputation behind him

I will go wherever he came from-
The young man with his reputation behind him

Tender Is The Night lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Lonely is the night,
When you're dreaming all alone.
Dreaming of the one,
The one that you can call your own.
But now at last, I've found
The love that I've been searching for,
And ev'rything feels right,
When you hold me tight,
Tender is the night.

After all this time,
After all the loneliness,
Yearning for your touch,
Yearning for your tenderness.
Now at last I've found
The magic of your sweet caress,
And ev'rything feels right,
When you hold me tight,
Tender is the night.

You have mad my spirit whole,
And you have touched my very soul
Your love just shook me to the core,
Opened ev'ry door,
Made me cry for more…..

I believe in love,
Just as I believe in you,
And in the Power above
To make our ev'ry dream come true.
And I believe that we
Will love until eternity,
The future seems so bright,
When you hold me tight,
Tender is the night.

You have mad my spirit whole,
And you have touched my very soul
Your love just shook me to the core,
Opened ev'ry door,
Made me cry for more…..

I believe in love,
Just as I believe in you,
And in the Power above
To make our ev'ry dream come true.
And I believe that we
Will love until eternity,
The future seems so bright,
When you hold me tight,
Tender is the night.

This Was My Life lyrics - Celtic Thunder

I have loved, and I have lived
And I have had my wild romances
I've taken all that life can give
And taken my fair share of chances

It's been a good life
Far from the high life
And I thank God that this is my life

I've known just how it is to win
And I have felt the pain of losing
Some paths I chose would end in tears
But they were all of my own choosing

It's been a good life
Far from the high life
And I thank God that this is my life

I've known contentment
In a woman's arms
And felt the warmth of her devotion
And I've known heartache
And a dark despair
That was as deep as any ocean

But, we get the strength to carry on
And build a life of our own making
We thank the Lord for each new day
And for every breath that we are taking

It's a good life
Far from the high life
And I thank God that this was my life

I've known contentment
In a woman's arms
And felt the warmth of her devotion
And I've known heartache
And a dark despair
That was as deep as any ocean

And looking back on all the years
The loves, the sweetness, and the sorrow
Have made me what I am today
And I'd do it all again tomorrow

It's been a good life
Far from the high life
And I thank God that this was my life

We can't deny life
How it flies by, life
And I thank God that this was my life

Look At Me lyrics - Celtic Thunder

[Damian:]
Look at me
I'm cool and I'm charming
Debonair and disarming
That's me to a T
Take a look at me
Don't need no fandangos
I got all of the angles
Just look at me

[Damian:]
Look at me
[Keith:]
Look at you
[Damian: ]
I ain't no beginner
a natural winner
That's me to a T

[Damian:]
Take a look at me
[Keith:]
Take a look at you
[Damian:]
I can sing acappella
I'm a hell of a fella
Just look at me

[Keith:]
You know nothin' at all about ladies
Let me give you a piece of advice
You're headin' for nothin' but trouble
You'll be paying a hell of a price

'Cos you think you're a bit of a killer
That the ladies will fall at your feet "Ha"
They could eat you for supper
And spit you right out on the street

[Damian:]
Look at me
[Keith:]
Look at you
[Damian: ]
Your resistance will crumble
Get ready to rumble 1, 2, 3!
[Damian:]
Take a look at me
[Keith:]
Look at you
[Damian:]
I'm as fit as a fiddle
So let's hide it a little
Just you and me

[Keith:]
It's a very bad time to be cocky
When your out there on the pull
Hold your horse like a jockey
And don't rush in like a bull

You have to be patient with ladies
And tell them what they want to here
Keep a steady aim on your target
Don't shoot like a young pistoler

[Keith:]
Take a good look at yourself
For goodness sake
All the ladies are laughin'
Ask yourself why

Take a good look at yourself
And you will see
A natural loser
Take it from me

[Damian:]
Look at me
I ain't no beginner
A natural winner
That's me to a T

Take a look at me
I can sing acappella
I'm a hell of a fella
Just look at me

[Damian & Keith repeat what they just sang at the same time]

[Keith:]
A natural loser
Take it from me
[Damian:]
I'm a hell of a fella
Look at me

The Dutchman lyrics - Celtic Thunder

The Dutchman's not the kind of man
Who keeps his thumb jammed in the dam
That holds his dreams in,
But that's a secret that only Margaret knows.

When Amsterdam is golden in the summer,
Margaret brings him breakfast,
She believes him.
He thinks the tulips bloom beneath the snow.

He's mad as he can be, but Margaret only sees that sometimes,
Sometimes she sees her unborn children in his eyes.

Let us go to the banks of the ocean
Where the walls rise above the Zuider Zee.
Long ago, I used to be a young man
And dear Margaret remembers that for me.

The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes,
His cap and coat are patched with the love
That Margaret sewed there.
Sometimes he thinks he's still in Rotterdam.

And he watches the tug-boats down canals
An' calls out to them when he thinks he knows the Captain.
Till Margaret comes
To take him home again

Through unforgiving streets that trip him, though she holds his arm,
Sometimes he thinks he's alone and he calls her name.

Let us go to the banks of the ocean
Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee.
Long ago, I used to be a young man
And dear Margaret remembers that for me.

The winters whirl the windmills 'round
She winds his muffler tighter
And they sit in the kitchen.
Some tea with whiskey keeps away the dew.

And he sees her for a moment, calls her name,
She makes the bed up singing some old love song,
A song Margaret learned
When it was very new.

He hums a line or two, they sing together in the dark.
The Dutchman falls asleep and Margaret blows the candle out.

Let us go to the banks of the ocean
Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee.
Long ago, I used to be a young man
And dear Margaret remembers that for me.

Buachaill Ón Eirne lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Buachaill o'n Eirne me 's bhreagfainn calin deas og
Ni iarrfainn bo spre lei ta me fhein saibhir go leor
'S liom Corcaigh da mheid e dha thaobh a' ghleanna 's Tir Eoghain
'S mura n-athrai me beasai 's me n' t-oidhr' ar Chontae Mhaigh Eo

Come by the hills to the land where fancy is free
And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the lochs meet the sea
Where the rivers run clear and the bracken is gold in the sun
And the cares of tomorrow can wait 'til this day is done

Come by the hills to the land where life is a song
And stand where the birds fill the air with their joy all day long
Where the trees sway in time and even the wind sings in tune
And the cares of tomorrow can wait 'til this day is done

Come by the hills to the land where legends remain
And the stories of old fill the heart and may yet come again
Where the past has been lost and the future is still to be won
And the cares of tomorrow can wait 'til this day is done

Black Is The Color lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Black is the color of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She's the sweetest face and the gentlest hands.
I love the ground whereon she stands

I love my love and well she knows
I love the ground whereon she goes.
But some times I wish the day will come
That she and I will be as one

Black is the color of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She's the sweetest face and the gentlest hands.
I love the ground whereon she stands

I walk to the Clyde for to mourn and weep
But satisfied I never can sleep
I'll write her a letter, just a few short lines
And suffer death ten thousand times

Black is the color of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She's the sweetest face and the gentlest hands.
I love the ground whereon she stands

My Love Is Like A Red Red Rose lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Oh, my love is like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June
Oh, my love is like a melody
That's sweetly played in tune
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry.
Till all the seas gang dry, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry.

'Til all the seas gang dry my, my dear
And the rocks melt with the sun
And I will love thee still, my dear
While the sands of life shall run
But faretheewell, my only love
Oh, faretheewell a while
And I will come again, my love
Tho' 't were ten thousand mile
Tho' 't were ten thousand mile, my love
Tho' 't were ten thousand mile
And I will come again, my love
Tho' 't were ten thousand mile.

Home From The Sea lyrics - Celtic Thunder

[Chorus]
Home, home, home from the sea
Angels of mercy, answer our plea
And carry us home, home, home from the sea
Carry us safely home from the sea.

On a cold winters night
With a storm at its height
The lifeboat answered the call.
They pitched and they tossed
Till we thought they were lost
As we watched from the harbor wall.
Though the night was pitch black,
There was no turning back,
For someone was waiting out there,
But each volunteer
Had to live with his fear
As they joined in a silent prayer.

[Repeat Chorus]

As they battled their way
Past the mouth of the bay,
It was blowing like never before.
As they gallantly fought,
Every one of them thought
Of loved ones back on the shore.
Then a flicker of light
And they knew they were right.
There she was on the crest of a wave.
She's an old fishing boat
And she's barely afloat.
Please God, there are souls we can save.

[Chorus]

And back in the town
In a street that runs down
To the sea and the harbor wall,
They'd gathered in pairs
At the foot of the stairs
To wait or the radio call.
And just before dawn
When all hope had gone
Came a hush and a faraway sound.
'Twas the coxswain he roared
All survivors on board
Thank God and we're homeward bound.

[Chorus]

Just A Song At Twilight lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Once in the dear dead days beyond recall,
When on the world the mists began to fall,
Out of the dreams that rose in happy throng
Low to our hearts Love sang an old sweet song;
And in the dusk where fell the firelight gleam,
Softly it wove itself into our dream.

Just a song a twilight, when the lights are low,
And the flick'ring shadows softly come and go,
Tho' the heart be weary, sad the day and long,
Still to us at twilight comes Love's old song,
comes Love's old sweet song.

Even today we hear Love's song of yore,
Deep in our hearts it dwells forevermore.
Footsteps may falter, weary grow the way,
Still we can hear it at the close of day.
So till the end, when life's dim shadows fall,
Love will be found the sweetest song of all.

Just a song a twilight, when the lights are low,
And the flick'ring shadows softly come and go,
Tho' the heart be weary, sad the day and long,
Still to us at twilight comes Love's old song,
comes Love's old sweet song.

The Galway Girl lyrics - Celtic thunder

Gold & Silver Days lyrics - Celtic Thunder

As I sit here by the fireside
I'm turning back the years.
I can hear my mother singing in the morning
As she scrubbed our shining faces
And then packed us off to school.
All too soon those days were over without warning.

[Chorus]
So sing me the songs of our gold and silver days,
Days filled with innocence and light.
Not a penny to our name,
We were happy just the same
In our gold and silver days.

In the parlour on a Friday night,
My father took the floor.
I can hear us join together in the chorus,
Singing "Just a Song at Twilight"
And "The Moon behind the Hill".
Now those voices are all silenced, gone before us.

[Chorus]

We gathered at the Daisy Field
On Sunday afternoon,
And we danced to Johnny Quigley and the Royal.
Through the years we all were scattered,
But our friends were good and true,
Always there when they were needed, always loyal.

[Chorus]

Noreen lyrics - Celtic Thunder

There's a spot in old Tir conaell, there's a wee house in the glen,
Where dwelt an fairest colleen, who charmed the hearts of men,
She was winsome hale and hearty, shy and graceful as the dawn,
Neighbours loved that widow's daughter, happy laughing Noreen Bawn.

Till one day there came a letter, with her passage paid to go,
To the land where the Missouri, and the Mississipy flows,
Then she said goodbye to Ireland, and next morning at the door,
That old mother broken hearted, bid farewell to Noreen Bawn.

Many years that mother waited, till oneevening at the door,
Stood a gorgeous looking lady, costly were the clothes she wore,
Saying mother don't you know me, for I've only got a cold,
But thoes purple spots upon her cheeks, the tragic story's told.

There's a graveyard in Tir Conaill, where the blossoms sadly grow,
There's a sorrow stricken mother, kneeling o're that lonely grave.
My Noreen, oh my Noreen its lonesome since you've gone,
Twas the shame of emigration, laid you low my Noreen Bawn

Kindred Spirits lyrics - Celtic thunder

If you think you're hearing something
And you can't think what it is
If you feel a quiet longing
Lift your heart into the wind
There you'll find my kindred spirit
There you'll meet me as a friend
It is just a kindred feeling
And a song to let you in

Whiskey In The Jar lyrics - Celtic Thunder

[Keith]
As I was a goin' over Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol then produced my rapier
I said "Stand and deliver" or the devil he may take you

[Chorus:]
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for my daddy-o. Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

[Neil]
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she loved me, never would she leave me
But the devil take that women for she knows she treat me easy.

[Chorus]

[Keith]
Round about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired off my pistol and I shot him with both barrels

[Chorus]

[Neil]
Some men like the fishin. Some men like the fowlin
Some men like to hear the cannon ball a-rollin

[Keith]
Me, I like sleepin';
'Specially in my Molly's chamber.
But here I am in prison --
Here I am on the ball and chain, yeah!

[Chorus]

Red Rose Café lyrics - Celtic Thunder

They come from the farms and the factories too
And they all soon forget who they are.
The cares of today are soon washed away
As they sit at a stool by the bar.
The girl with green eyes in the Rolling Stones shirt
Doesn't look like she works on the land.
The man at the end, he's a very good friend
Of a man who sells cars second hand.

Down at the Red Rose Café in the Harbour
There by the port just outside Amsterdam.
Everyone shares in the songs and the laughter.
Everyone there is so happy to be there.

The salesmen relax with a few pints of beer
As they try not to speak about trade.
The poet won't write any verses tonight.
He may sing a sweet serenade.
So pull up a chair and forget about life.
It's a good thing to do now and then
And if you like it here I have an idea
Tomorrow let's all meet again.

A Place In The Choir lyrics - Celtic Thunder

All God's creatures got a place in the choir
Some sing low and some sing higher,
Some sing out loud on a telephone wire,
Some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they've got now

All God's creatures got a place in the choir
Some sing low and some sing higher,
Some sing out loud on a telephone wire,
Some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they've got now

Listen to the top where the little bird sings
On the melodies and the high notes ringing,
And the hoot owl cries over everything
And the blackbird disagrees.

Singing in the night time, singing in the day,
When little duck quacks, and he's on his way.
And the otter hasn't got much to say
And the porcupine talks to himself

All God's creatures got a place in the choir
Some sing low and some sing higher,
Some sing out loud on a telephone wire,
Some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they've got now

The dogs and the cats they take up the middle
While the honeybee hums and the cricket fiddles,
The donkey brays and the pony neighs
And the old gray badger sighs...

Listen to the bass, it's the one on the bottom
Where the bullfrog croaks and the hippopotamus
Moans and groans with a big t'do
And the old cow just goes moo.

All God's creatures got a place in the choir
Some sing low and some sing higher,
Some sing out loud on a telephone wire,
Some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they've got now

It's a simple song a little song everywhere
By the ox and the fox and the grizzly bear,
The dopey alligator and the the hawk above,
The sly old weasel and the turtle dove.

All God's creatures got a place in the choir
Some sing low and some sing higher,
Some sing out loud on a telephone wire,
Some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they've got now

All God's creatures got a place in the choir
Some sing low and some sing higher,
Some sing out loud on a telephone wire,
Some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they've got now

All God's creatures got a place in the choir
Some sing low and some sing higher,
Some sing out loud on a telephone wire,
Some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they've got now

All God's creatures got a place in the choir.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas lyrics - Celtic Thunder

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look in the Five and Ten
Glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see
Is the holly that will be
On your own front door

A pair of Hop-a-long boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Bonny and Ben
Dolls that will talk and go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jenn
And mom and dad can hardly wait
For school to start again

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel
One in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the Carol that you sing
Right within your heart

A pair of Hop-a-long boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Bonny and Ben
Dolls that will talk and go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jenn
And mom and dad can hardly wait
For school to start again

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the Carol that you sing
Right within your heart, right within your heart

Winter Wonderland lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the land snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, oh, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is a new bird
And he's singing a song as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

Well, in the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say are you married , we'll say, "No, man"
But you can do the job when you're in town

Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire to face unafraid
All the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland

Well, in the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down

When it snows, ain't it thrilling
Though your noes gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play
The Eskimo way

Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
The fire is so delightful
Since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought me some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

Oh, the fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbyeing
As long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I bought me some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

Oh, the fire is slowing dying
An,d my dear, we're still goodbyeing
As long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Last Christmas lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
And the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten, twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby, well, do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

Happy Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying, "I love you", I meant it
But now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me, you'd fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
And the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special, woah

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover when you tore me apart
Ooh, now, now that I found real love
You'll never fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special, woah

Gave you my heart
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Oh, oh, oh, oh, last Christmas

Hallelujah, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Going Home For Christmas lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Going home for Christmas, can't wait to
Be on my way to see once more the folks
I've been missing is long and many a day,
Can't wait to get that old feeling being back
Where I belong, I've saved my fare and I'll
Soon be there, it's Christmas and I'm
Going home.

Going home for Christmas, and the welcome
That's waiting there I'll say goodbye to the lights
Of Broadway fairwell to old Time Square,
Thought my home is plain and simple it's
The place where I was born, and pleeker
Street just can't compete, it's Christmas
And I'm going home.

I've saved my fare, and I'll soon be there ,
It's Christmas and I'm going home.

Going home for Christmas, the way
That it used to be see the candle
Burning there in the window the fairy
Lights on the tree ,hear the laughter
Of the children, see the wonder in there
Eyes bring, on the snow and the mistletoe,
It's Christmas and I'm going home.

So bring on the snow, and the mistletoe,
It's Christmas and I'm going home.

I'm going home.

Our First Christmas Together lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Don't mind the snow that's falling
The carol singers calling
I'm just happy
To be spending our first Christmas
Together

And I'll be more than jolly
With the mistletoe and holly
Tonight as we are counting down to Christmas
Together
Just you and me

With those jingle bells ringing
As I'm holding you near
I'll be making a toast
May tonight be the most
Unforgettable night of the year

The sound of
Jingle bells and laughter
Will remind us ever after
Of how we spent that magical first Christmas
Together
Just you and me
Just you and me

With those jingle bells ringing
As I'm holding you near
I'll be making a toast
May tonight be the most
Unforgettable night of the year
The year

Cuddled up and cozy
The future's looking rosy
And I can see us spending every Christmas
Together
Just you and me
Just you and me
Just you and me
Just you and me

Christmas 1915 lyrics - Celtic Thunder

1915 on Christmas Day
On western front the guns all died away
And laying in the mud on bags of sand
We heard the German sing from no man's land
He tenor voice so pure and true
The words were strange but every note we knew
Soaring ore the the living dead and dammed
The German sang of peace from no man's land

They left their trenches and we left ours
Beneath tin hats the smiles bloomed like wild flowers
With photos cigarettes and bottles of wine
We bult a soldier's truce on the front line
Their singer was a lad of 21
We begged another song before the dawn
And sitting in the mud and blood and fear
He sang again the song all longed to hear

Silent night, no cannons roar
A king is born of peace for evermore
All's calm, all's bright
All brothers hand in hand
In 19 and 15 in no man's land

And in the morning sll guns boomed in the rain
And we killed them and they killed us again
At night they charged we fought them hand in hand
And i killed the boy that sang in no man's land

Silent night no cannons roar
A king is born of peace for evermore
All's calm, all's bright
All brothers hand in hand
And that young soldier sings
And the song of peace still rings
Though the captains and all the kings
Built no man's land
Sleep in heavenly peace

Baby, It's Cold Outside lyrics - Celtic Thunder

I really can't stay
Baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go away
Baby, it's cold outside

This evening has been
Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

My mother will start to worry
Beautiful words you're humming
And father will be pacing the floor
Listen to the fireplace roar

So really I'd better scurry
Sweetheart, what's you're hurry?
Well, maybe just a half a drink more
Why don't you put some records on while I pour

The neighbors might think
But baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink?
No cabs to be had out there

I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break the spell
I'll take your hat, your hairs looks swell

I ought to say no, no, no sir
Mind if I move a little closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense in hurting my pride?

I really can't stay
Baby, don't hold out
Oh, but it's cold outside

I simply must go
Baby it's cold outside
The answer is no
But baby it's cold out there

The welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm

My sister will be suspicious
Girl, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Like waves upon a tropical shore

My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Oh, baby, you're so delicious
Well, maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before

I got to get home
Oh baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me a coat
It's up to your knees out there

You've really been grand
I'm thrilled when you touch my hand
Why don't you see?
How can you do this thing to me?

There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Making my lifelong sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died

I really can't stay
Get over that hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside
Baby, it's cold outside

Come on, stay a little longer
Okay

I really can't stay
Baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go away

Ave Maria lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Ave Maria
Gratia plena
Dominus tecum

Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus fructus ventris
Tui, Jesus
Sancta Maria

Mater Dei
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus
Nunc et in hora mortis nostrae

All I Want For Christmas Is You lyrics - Celtic Thunder

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
You make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
Don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day

And I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
You make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you, you, baby, woah

Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas
I don't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click

And I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
All I want for Christmas is you, you, baby, woah

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just just one thing I need
I just want to see baby
Standing right outside my door

And I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
You make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you, you, baby, woah
You, all I want for Christmas is you

I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday lyrics - Celtic Thunder

When the snowman brings the snow
Well, he just might like to know
He's put a great big smile on somebody's face

And if you jump into your bed
Quickly cover up your head
Don't you lock your door
You know the sweet Santa Claus is on his way

Well, I wish it could be Christmas every day
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas every day
So let the bells ring out for Christmas

When we're skating in the park
If the storm clouds paint it dark
Then your rosy cheeks gonna light my merry way

Now the frosticals appeared
And they've frozen up my ear
So we'll lie by the fire
'Til the sleep simply melts them all away

Well, I wish it could be Christmas every day
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas every day
So let the bells ring out for Christmas
(Wish it could be Christmas, oh, I wish it could be Christmas)

Well, I wish it could be Christmas every day
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas every day
So let the bells ring out for Christmas

Well, I wish it could be Christmas every day
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play, woah, ooh
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas every day
So let the bells ring out for Christmas
So let the bells ring out for Christmas

The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year / We Wish You A Merry Christmas lyrics - celtic thunder

It’s the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle-belling
And everyone telling you, “Be of good cheer”
It’s the most wonderful time of the year

It’s the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It’s the hap-happiest season of all

There’ll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There’ll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago

It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It’s the most wonderful time of the year

There’ll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There’ll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago
Long ago

It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It’s the most wonderful time,
It’s the most wonderful time,
It’s the most wonderful time of the year

Of the year

We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
And a happy New Year.

Good tidings we bring
To you and your King
Good tidings for Christmas
And a happy New Year.

Oh, bring us some figgy pudding,
Oh, bring us some figgy pudding,
Oh, bring us some figgy pudding,
And a cup of good cheer.

Good tidings we bring
To you and your King
Good tidings for Christmas
And a happy New Year.

We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
And a happy New Year.

Home lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Another summer day
Is come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Just wanna go home
I miss you, you know

And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
'I'm fine baby, how are you?'
Well I would send them but I know that it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another airplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
I've got to go home

Let me go home
I'm just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And it feel just like I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
And even Paris and Rome
I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Let go home
I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I'm just too far from where you are
I wanna come home
Let me go home
It'll all be all right
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home

Life With You lyrics - Celtic Thunder

When I was a younger man
When I was a silly boy
I didn't need a thing,
I was strong as anything,
I viewed solitude as a joy

But since I met you I'm distraught
You wandered in and now I'm caught
I never thought I would see
Someone so truly good
Some one who's so everything I'm not

I want to spend my life with you
Don't want to live all alone
I can't conceive of the years left in me
Without you in our home

But what if, what if, what if what
If it's not perfect then it's not
But every care I'll take
Nothing I won't forsake
To dwell beside what you've got

Every time I think about you
I think I can't live with you
I'll tell you something
I am nothing without you

I want to spend my life with you
Don't want to live all alone
I can't conceive of the years left in me
Without you in our home

I want to spend my life with you
Don't want to live all alone
I can't conceive of the years left in me

Without you in our home [2x]

Hallelujah lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who out drew ya
It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not someone who has seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Just Like Jesse James lyrics - Celtic Thunder

You're strutting through the town like you're slinging a gun
Just a small-town dude with a big city attitude
Honey are you looking for some trouble tonight?
Well, alright

You think you're so bad drive the women folk wild
Shoot 'em all down with a flash of your pearly smile
Honey, but you met your match tonight
Oh, that's right

You think you'll knock me off my feet 'til I'm flat on the floor
'Til my heart is crying Indian and I'm begging for more
So come on baby
Come on baby
Come on baby show me what that loaded gun is for

If you can give it
I can take it
Cause if this heart is gonna break, its gonna take a lot to break it
I know tonight somebody is gonna win the fight

So if you're so tough
Come on and prove it
Your heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
Just like Jesse James

You break the laws of love in the name of desire
Take ten steps back
Cause I'm ready baby
Aim and fire
Baby, there's nowhere you're gonna run tonight
Oh, that's right

Well, you've had your way with love, but its the end of the day
Now a team of wild horses couldn't drag your heart away

So come on baby
Come on baby
Come on baby
Come on

If you can give it
I can take it
Cause if this heart is gonna break, its gonna take a lot to break it
I know tonight somebody is gonna win the fight

So if you're so tough
Come on and prove it
Your heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
Just like Jesse James
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
Just like Jesse James

Hard For Me To Say I'm Sorry lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Everybody needs a little time away
I heard her say
From each other.
Even lovers need a holiday
Far away from each other.

Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry.
I just want you to stay.
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to.
After all that's been said and done
You're just a part of me I can't let go.

I couldn't stand being kept away
Not for a day
From your body.
Wouldn't want to be swept away
Far away
From the one that i love.

Hold me now
Its hard for me to say I'm sorry.
I just want you know.

Hold me now
I really want to tell you I'm sorry.
I could never let you go.
After all that weve been through
I will make it up to you.
I promise to.
After all that's been said and done
You're just a part of me I can't let go.

After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you.
I promise to.
After all that's been said and done
You're just a part of me I can't let go.

After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I peromise to.
I do.
