Irish Red

I heard your souls' in a better place
You grew some wings and you flew away
The world is grey ever since you've been gone
The night is young, but I'm getting old
Sometimes I wonder why you had to go
A yellow rose laid under the sun

The birds sing our your tune
The clouds part just for you
Oohh mmm
Can you hear it too?

We will remember you
In all the ways you want us to
The Irish red in the waves of your hair
We will remember you
The way your ocean eyes so blue
The stars are your freckles when the clouds disappear
I wish you were here

Oh I was twelve, you were only six
Yah we were young, we were only kids
But now I'm grown and I wish that you could see
We had no mum and we had no dad
We did our best with the things we had
We had each other, but it's time to turn the leaf

Tree houses
Old cars
Cartoons, you were scared of the dark
The forest and I will sing for you 'cause

We will remember you
In all the ways you want us to
The Irish red in the waves of your hair
We will remember you
The way your ocean eyes so blue
The stars are your freckles when the clouds disappear
I wish you were here

I will remember
Always remember
I will remember
Always remember
I will remember
Always remember you

We will remember you
In all the way you want us to
The Irish red in the waves of your hair
Ooohh mmm
We will remember you
The way your ocean eyes so blue
The stars are your freckles when the clouds disappear
I wish you were here
