I Remember You Singing This Song lyrics
Finbar Furey 🎸I remember you singing this song Ma
I remember how you blushed when you smiled
Love has a way of never letting go
Silly teardrops, they're filling my eyes
I remember when Father would sing this old song
He would tease you to sing along
He would sing out of key, just as happy as could be
I wonder if he's teasing you now
I remember the day my mother passed on
My father had gone just a while
I sat in the church and I listened to one
From a distance I heard this old song
I wonder if he's teasing you now Ma
I wonder if he's holding your hand
Love has a way of never letting go
Sure I know, you're together somehow
Dee dum da dee dum da dee...
