Lyrics

DEAR BRIDIE

Dear Bridie my love,
Dear Bridie my sweet.
What can I do without you,
What can I do but listen to the silence,
The silence where your laughter used to be.
What will I do with your memory.
But treasure it.
I?ll treasure it.

Dear Bridie my love,
Dear Bridie my sweet.
You?re never gone,
Never alone,
Never apart and never lost.
You?re always with me every moment.
Every beat inside my heart
Dear Bridie you?re still loved.
You?re still loved.

You danced with the starlight under,
Irish summer nights of wonder,
Sprinkled in that silver stardust,
Blessed by special magic.
Every summers day is your day,
Every bird that sings is for you,
Every life you touched knew magic
Dear Bridie still special.

Dear bridie my love,
Dear Bridie my sweet,
Sleep awhile now.
Your safe at last.
The world can?t touch you now.
You?re with the angels now.
Gone from my heart to Gods arms,
With all my love for you.
All of my love for you

You danced with the starlight under,
Irish summer nights of wonder,
Sprinkled in that silver stardust,
Blessed by special magic.
Every summers day is your day,
Every bird that sings is for you,

What a beautiful song, very touching and heart warming in a sad kind of way. This song brought tears to my eyes! Everyone can relate to this song and I imagine would find it comforting . Beautiful!
