I would be very grateful if someboy could send me by e-mail the lyrics of a song titled 'Beautiful Affair'.

I believe that this is a Irish traditional song, but I'm not sure.

Thank you very much.

perhaps this?

BEAUTIFUL AFFAIR

CHORUS: See all the doors swing open.
Your life's unfolding before your very eyes,
Such a strange affair.
Walking around, come into the sound,
Forget your downs, feel the air,
Beautiful affair.

When you feel like laying low,
And the mountains seem no closer than before,
And you wonder why,
You know in your mind it's no good to hide,
And the only way is living to survive,
Makes you feel alive.

Comes a time when you look around,
And you see the ocean waiting for your eyes,
Showing no surprise.
You make your way down to the shore,
You climb aboard, give yourself a smile,
Makes you feel alive.

I'm not completely sure but I think that's the song I was looking for. My gilfriend asked me if I coulg get the lyrics. She heard the song from an Irish band called "The Irish Rovers" that used to play in Benidorm (Spain).

Thank you very much to you both, Alison and Wolfgang.

Cheers.

Just trying to send you a recording of the Stocktons Wing version via voice mail (Mediaring). It was written by one of the guys out of the band.

David, I produced the song 'Beautiful Affair' for the Clare based traditional/cont. band Stocktons Wing and which was a hit single for the band here in Ireland. The song. which was included in the album 'Light In The Western Sky (Tara), was written (as the above has confirmed ) by Mike Hanrahan and is now published by Celtic Music. (IMRO)
