I am looking for the lyrics to all three verses of this song. If you have more than three, I would appreciate knowing them also. I believe the lyrics to an Irish Lullaby are the same. Thanks

I'm hoping this is what you are looking for

  RECONCILIATION
  Ron Kavana
  
       D      A7       D
  When summer time has come
      D                A7
  And autumn winds are threatening
     D        A7
  To blow our love away
       G                 A7
  It's then love will be tested.
  D      A7        D
  Arm in arm we'll stand,
  D       G      A7
  Side by side together
  G           A7     G
  To face the common foe
             G              A7
  That would tear our love asunder.
  
  CHORUS:
  D    A7   D
  Tura lura lay
  D         A7
  Tura lura laddie
  D    A7   D
  Tura lura lay
  G    A7   D
  Tura lura laddie
  
  You fair weathered friend
  Where are you now I need you
  Unlike the autumn sun
  A cold December morning
  When hard times come around
  In cold and stormy weather
  There's only you and I, my love
  To shelter one another. CHORUS
  
  Now there's a time to fight,
  And there's a time for healing
  As the sun would melt the snow
  On clear, bright April mornings.
  Our fight has run its course
  Now is the time for healing
  So let us all embrace
  Sweet reconciliation. CHORUS

Hi, twirpster - put [irish lullaby] in square brackets in the blue DigiTrad search box, and the song will come up. The full name of the song is "Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, That's and Irish Lullaby." Words and music were by James Royce Shannon, published in 1913 by M. Witmark & Sons. I'm pretty sure it's the original version in our database - and it has only two verses.
The song was introduced by Chauncy Olcott in the 1913 musical extravaganza Shameen Dhu. It was revived in 1944 by Bing Crosby in the Paramount motion picture musical Going My Way. Crosby's recording sold over a million disks that year. David Ewen says this song was a favorite of President John F. Kennedy.
Source: American Popular Songs: from the Revolutionary War to the Present, David Ewen.
Search for "Irish Lullaby" at the Levy Sheet Music Site (click) and you'll find three different versions of the sheet music (only two available online).
