In a quiet glen where the river flows
I met my love one day
Her laughter like the breeze that blows
And stole my heart away
We danced beneath the emerald skies
With stars that shone so bright
But now I'm left with silent sighs
Alone in the pale moonlight
Oh, my heart, it aches for days of old
When love was warm and true
The fire's gone, the nights are cold
Since I said goodbye to you
In dreams I hear your gentle voice
A whisper soft and low
But waking finds me with no choice
But to let your memory go
By the lough where we would often roam
Your hand was in my own
We spoke of dreams of hearth and home
Of love we'd always known
But fate's cruel hand has drawn apart
Two souls once intertwined
And now I bear a broken heart
With you so far behind
Oh, my heart, it aches for days of old
When love was warm and true
The fire's gone, the nights are cold
Since I said goodbye to you
In dreams I hear your gentle voice
A whisper soft and low
But waking finds me with no choice
But to let your memory go
In every song, in every sigh
I feel your presence near
And though we said our last goodbye
Your spirit lingers here
For love once known can never fade
Though time may drift us far
Your touch, your kiss, the vows we made
Are written in the stars
Oh, my heart, it aches for days of old
When love was warm and true
The fire's gone, the nights are cold
Since I said goodbye to you
In dreams I hear your gentle voice
A whisper soft and low
But waking finds me with no choice
But to let your memory go
So here I stand by the river's edge
With tears that freely flow
I whisper love's unbroken pledge
And feel the chill wind blow
Though years may pass and seasons change
Your love I'll always keep
In dreams we'll dance through life's wide range
Until in peace I sleep
