Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
Every time I hear a sweet bird singing,
I think of you and I my love, I think of you and I
And when I hear the evening bells a ringing,
I hang my head and cry my love, hang my head and cry
Chorus:
I will love you; l will love you, when we are gone
I will love you; l will love you, when we are gone
Every time I hear your soft voice humming,
My heart jumps in my breast, my love, my heart jumps in my breast
And until I hear your footsteps coming,
My heart can know no rest, my love; my heart can know no rest
Chorus:
I will love you; l will love you, when we are gone
I will love you; l will love you, when we are gone
I will love you; l will love you, when we are gone
I will love you; l will love you, when we are gone
