Verse 1:
Danny boy, where'd you go?
I miss your smile, your face I can't forget
I dreamed about you last night
And I woke up with a start
Chorus:
Danny boy, I'm here today
But I'll be gone tomorrow
And I'll be lost without you
You're all I have and all I'm ever gonna need
Verse 2:
I'll be here, I'll be true
I'll be around, don't cry for me
I'll be there, when you wake
I'll be waiting, for you to take my hand
Chorus:
Danny boy, I'm here today
But I'll be gone tomorrow
And I'll be lost without you
You're all I have and all I'm ever gonna need
Bridge:
Oh Danny boy, it's not the end of days
When I leave you here all alone
And you're crying, so lonely
Just remember that I'll always love you, no matter what.
Chorus:
Danny boy, I'm here today
But I'll be gone tomorrow
And I'll be lost without you
You're all I have and all I'm ever gonna need.
(And Danny boy, remember this)
When you miss me so much
Just play this song, for me.
Farewell my love, I hope you hear the melody, that was singing to me all along. Bye bye now Danny Boy! (All I ever wanted was your heart and hand.)
