Your Irish Waltz
When you were 16 you were wearing blue jeans
And I got high to contain my screams
I only say this to set the scene
For I've loved you all my life
Now you say you've got a guy who'll write you a song
And if I play nice I can sing along
But not only am I funny, fast, and strong
I can write you a damn song, too
When you were 22 I'd run home to you
When I was all alone and feeling blue
When you were 25 it cut like a knife
When you said you didn't want me in your life
While I was having dreams of man and wife
When they shattered they cut like glass
Now you say you've got a guy who'll write you a song
And if I play nice I can sing along
But not only am I funny, fast, and strong
I can write you a damn song, too
Now you say you've got a guy who'll write you a song
And if I play nice I can sing along
But not only am I funny, fast, and strong
I can write you a damn song, too
When you are 70 then maybe you'll see
That you and I were meant to be
And if my pride hasn't yet killed me
I'll be waiting for you on the porch...
And I got high to contain my screams
I only say this to set the scene
For I've loved you all my life
Now you say you've got a guy who'll write you a song
And if I play nice I can sing along
But not only am I funny, fast, and strong
I can write you a damn song, too
When you were 22 I'd run home to you
When I was all alone and feeling blue
When you were 25 it cut like a knife
When you said you didn't want me in your life
While I was having dreams of man and wife
When they shattered they cut like glass
Now you say you've got a guy who'll write you a song
And if I play nice I can sing along
But not only am I funny, fast, and strong
I can write you a damn song, too
Now you say you've got a guy who'll write you a song
And if I play nice I can sing along
But not only am I funny, fast, and strong
I can write you a damn song, too
When you are 70 then maybe you'll see
That you and I were meant to be
And if my pride hasn't yet killed me
I'll be waiting for you on the porch...
