Emily Grace

Lyrics

Verse 1 The fire is warm, the night's alive, Old fiddles sing till half past five. The Guinness flows, the whiskey's bright, We're laughing loud this Friday night. One sailor smiles, then clears his throat, And every heart begins to float. "Come closer, lads, and fill your glass, I'll tell you of my sweetheart, lass." Chorus Oh, Emily Grace, with flowers in your hands, Blooming like the morning across the emerald lands. Waiting in Phoenix Park through sunshine and the rain, You're the song that brings me safely home again. Raise your pint and let it ring, Hear the fiddles laugh and sing! For every road and every wave Leads me back to Emily Grace. Verse 2 She sells wild roses, daisies too, With eyes as bright as Irish blue. The children smile as she walks by, A little piece of summer sky. The robins sing, the old trees sway, She lights the darkest Dublin day. No queen could wear a finer crown Than Emily in her little town. Chorus Oh, Emily Grace, with flowers in your hands, Blooming like the morning across the emerald lands. Waiting in Phoenix Park through sunshine and the rain, You're the song that brings me safely home again. Raise your pint and let it ring, Hear the fiddles laugh and sing! For every road and every wave Leads me back to Emily Grace. Bridge I've sailed through storms where the heavens roared, With broken masts and a weary board. The waves stood high like mountains gray, And death seemed just one breath away. But I'd whisper softly her sweet name, And somehow calm and courage came. When hope was lost upon the sea, Emily Grace was guiding me. Final Chorus Oh, Emily Grace, with flowers in your hands, Blooming like the morning across the emerald lands. From every sea and every shore, I'll choose your smile forevermore. So fill your cups, let voices rise, Beneath old Dublin's starry skies. With Guinness dark and whiskey neat, There's no place else I'd rather be. For every voyage, every chase, Ends at home with Emily Grace. Outro So here's to friends, to love so true, To Irish skies forever blue. We'll sing until the morning's face— Sláinte! To dear Emily Grace!
