Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
Now the time has come for you to go so we’ll say our last good bye
I will shed my tears a thousand years I will love you till I die
I recall when first I saw your face and the twinkle in your eye
All that’s left for me are memories I will love you till I die
Chorus:
Long ago we watched the fire glow lay awake to catch the dawn
Now here am I, I see the embers die it’s so cold here now you’ve gone
If I begged you now I know you’d stay but I never ever lie
As I watch you go I’m sure you know I will love you till I die
Though I ask myself where I went wrong I can’t find no reason why
Though we’re far apart you took my heart I will love you till I die
Chorus
Now the time has come for you to go so we’ll our last good bye
I will shed my tears a thousand years I will love you till I die
