O the Days of the Kerry Dancing-Julie Andrews

O The Days Of The Kerry Dancing - Julie Andrews Oh the days of the kerry dancing Oh the ring of the piper's tune Oh for one of those hours of gladness Gone alas like our youth too soon When the boys began to gather In the glen of a summer night And the kerry piper's tuning Made us long with wild delight Oh to think of it oh to dream of it Fills my heart with tears Oh the days of the kerry dancing Oh the ring of the piper's tune Oh for one of those hours of gladness Gone alas like our youth too soon Was there ever a sweeter colleen In the dance than eily moore Or a prouder lad than thady As he boldly took the floor Lads and lasses to your places Up the middle and down again Ah the merry hearted laughter Ringing through the happy glen Oh to think of it oh to dream of it Fills my heart with tears Oh the days of the kerry dancing Oh the ring of the piper's tune Oh for one of those hours of gladness Gone alas like our youth too soon Time goes on and the happy years are dead And one by one the merry hearts have fled Silent now is the wild and lonely glen Where the bright glad laugh will echo ne'er again Only dreaming of days gone by In my heart I hear Loving voices of old companions Stealing out of the past once more And the sound of the dear old music Soft and sweet as in days of yore When the boys began to gather In the glen of a summer night And the kerry piper's tuning Made us long with wild delight Oh to think of it oh to dream of it Fills my heart with tears Oh the days of the kerry dancing Oh the ring of the piper's tune Oh for one of those hours of gladness Gone alas like our youth too soon
