Daniel O'donnell - An Irish Lullaby Lyrics

Over in Killarney
Many years ago
Me Mither sang a song to me
In tones so sweet and low.

Just a simple little ditty
In her good ould Irish way
And l'd give the world if she could sing
That song to me this day.

"Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't you cry
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that's an Irish lullaby."

Oft in dreams I wander
To that cot again
I feel her arms a-huggin' me
As when she held me then.

And I hear her voice a -hummin'
To me as in days of yore
When she used to rock me fast asleep
Outside the cabin door.

"Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't you cry
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that's an Irish lullaby..."

Daniel O'donnell - For The Good Times Lyrics

Don't look uptight, I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that are burning.

So lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time.

For the good times.
I'll get along, you'll find another
But I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me.

So lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time.

For the good times.
For the good times...

Daniel O'donnell - An Old Christmas Card Lyrics

There's an old Christmas card in an old dusty trunk
And it brings back sweet mem'ries dear to me
'Tho it's faded and worn, it's as precious as the morn
When I found it 'neath our first Christmas tree.

Chorus:
I thrill with every word, every line
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time
Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer
It's the mem'ry of an old Christmas card.

Spoken:
You know, I don't know why
I get to feeling sentimental
About this time, every year
But every time I see a Christmas card


I somehow can't help reminiscing
About the very first Christmas
That you and I spent together
What a beautiful Christmas card
You gave me that year.
Why, I know you must have looked
Through thousands of cards to find
That wonderful poem
That still brings a tear to my eyes.

Chorus:
I thrill with every word, every line
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time
Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer
It's the mem'ry of an old Christmas card.

Just a mem'ry of an old Christmas card..

Daniel O'donnell - Have You Ever Been Lonely Lyrics

Have you ever been lonely?
Have you ever been blue?
Have you ever loved someone?
Just as I love you.

Can't you see I'm sorry
For each mistake I've made?
Can't you see I've changed dear
Can't you see I've paid?

Be a little forgivin'
Take me back your heart
How can I go on livin'
Now that we're apart?

If you knew what I've been through
You would know why I ask you
Have you ever been lonely?
Have you ever been blue?

Can't you see I'm sorry
For each mistake I've made?
Can't you see I've changed dear
Can't you see I've paid?

Be a little forgivin'
Take me back your heart
How can I go on livin'
Now that we're apart?

If you knew what I've been through
You would know why I ask you
Have you ever been lonely?
Have you ever been blue?

Have you ever been lonely?
Have you ever been blue?...
