You ask me why I look so sad on this fine summers day, Or Why the tears are in my eyes and I seem so far away, Well sit yourself beside me love and put yuor hand in mine, And I'll tell you of someone I knew long long before your time. I'm sitting here and thinking of those days of long ago, When I was just a boy like you............. That is all I have of the song but if there is anyone that knows the rest on the words I would be very gratefu to hear from them. Go raibh míle. |
