Danny Boy

The valley is hushed, the flowers are all dying

The meadow is white with the winter snow

Lord, as I stand at the place where daddy is lying

I say a silent prayer and somehow I know

He hears me there though soft I tread above him

So now he sleeps in peace, his Danny boy's come home

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling

From glen to glen, and down the mountain side

The summer's gone, and all the leaves are falling

It's you, it's you must go and I must bide

Oh come ye back when the sun shines on the meadow

Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow

For I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow

Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so

I close my eyes and still I can see

Him standing there on the hill

Tears filled his eyes as he waved goodbye to me

I can't forget, I guess I never will

He said the valley is hushed, the flowers are all dying

The meadow is white with the winter snow

Come find the place where you know that I'll be lying

Say a silent prayer so I'll know
