COTTAGE BY THE SEA
Written by Jimmy Buckley & Kevin Sheerin
As sung by Foster & Allen on "After All These Years" (1985), "Ireland" (1996), "Sincerely" (2002), and "Magic of Foster & Allen" (2004).

I don't have many treasures that I can call my own,
But one I'm very proud of is a little Irish home.
It is no fancy mansion, but it means the world to me.
I wouldn't trade it for the world, our cottage by the sea.

The day my love and I were wed, we made another vow,
No matter where we traveled, we'd never settle down.
When we're far away from home our hearts will always be
Waiting back in Ireland in our cottage by the sea.

CHORUS: Our little cottage back home in Ireland,
It's where our hearts will always be.
Someday our dreams will turn into reality,
And we'll wake up back in Ireland in our cottage by the sea.

Many roads I have traveled; many wonders I have seen.
I have been to places other people only dream;
And as we're now returning, my love and I agree
That nothing can compare with our cottage by the sea.

CHORUS: Our little cottage back home in Ireland,
It's where our hearts will always be.
Today our dream will turn into reality
As we say hello to Ireland and our cottage by the sea. REPEAT


[Also sung by Christine McLean on "Mama Tried" (2006), and by Margo on "Parcel of Dreams" (2006).]
