Dublin...May I Love You?

A Bit of a Drinking Man's Song...

Dublin... May I love You?

As I stand here on Ha’Penny Bridge
And watch the Liffey waters flow
I wonder where the years have gone,
Remember my life from long ago
It's here I stood as a boy,
Tiptoed on the edge
Threw paper boats over the railings
And watched them dance
Down in the waters below

As the Liffey flows through Dublin
And gives the city life,
I have run through mine
But now I’m back again in my hometown
Oh Dublin, may I love you…
May I love you for the rest of my life

I’ve walked her streets a rich man
I’ve walked her streets bog poor
I’ve travelled far from her warm embrace
Just to make a living
Now I've come back again
And found she's still here waiting,
Here I am again in my hometown
And somethings never change
Oh Dublin, may I love you……
May I love you, for the rest of my life

I will sing to you Oh Dublin
And after a few pints of Guinness
I would marry you and make you my wife
Oh Dublin, May I love you……
May I love you for the rest of my life

As the Liffey flows through Dublin and gives the city life
I have run through mine
But I’m back again in my hometown
Oh Dublin, may I love you…
May I love you for the rest of my life
