Awakening lyrics - Celtic Woman

Now when the world is shadowed and dark
Now when the sky is empty of stars
Now when the world is wrapped in sleep
In a quiet endless and deep
In the silence of the night

Far off in the distance
A fire comes to life
A flicker of a flame breaks through the dark
Burning soft and bright
Dancing with the light
Awakening the Heavens and the Earth

Far across the ocean
A flame is rising high
Breaking through the shadows and the dark
Shining in the night
Rising with the light
Here to wake the Heavens and the Earth

Now as the light starts to rise
Now as the day opens wide
Now as the dreams slips away
You wake to the day
You wake to the light

Here as your dream falls away
Feel as the dark turns to day
Leave the shadows behind
And the dream called in blind
Turn into the light

Far off in the distance
A fire comes to life
A flicker of a flame breaks through the dark
Burning soft and bright
Dancing with the light
Awakening the Heavens and the Earth

Far across the ocean
A flame is rising high
Breaking through the shadows and the dark
Shining in the night
Rising with the light
Here to wake the Heavens and the Earth

Far off in the distance
A fire comes to life
A flicker of a flame breaks through the dark
Burning soft and bright
Dancing with the light
Awakening the Heavens and the Earth

Far across the ocean
A flame is rising high
Breaking through the shadows and the dark
Shining in the night
Rising with the light
Here to wake the Heavens and the Earth

Here to wake the Heavens and the Earth
To light

Nocturne lyrics - Celtic Woman

Now let the day just slip away
So the dark night may watch over you
Then the view silent, true
It embraces your heart and your soul, Nocturne

Never cry, never sigh
You don't have to wonder why
Always be, always see
Come and dream the night with me, Nocturne

Have no fear when the night draws near
And fills you with dreams and desire
Like a child asleep so warm, so deep
You will find me their waiting for you, Nocturne

We will fly, claim the sky
We don't have to wonder why
Always be, always see
Come and dream the night with me, Nocturne

Though darkness fades
It will give way
When the dark night delivers the day, Nocturne

Sailing lyrics - Celtic Woman

Sailing, I am sailing
Home again, 'cross the sea
I am sailing, stormy waters
To be near you, to be free

I am flying, I am flying
Like a bird, 'cross the sky
I am flying, passing high clouds
To be with you, who can say

Can you hear me, can you hear me
Through the dark night, far away?
I am dying, forever trying
To be with you, who can say
I am dying, forever trying
To be with you, who can say

We are sailing, we are sailing
Home again, 'cross the sea
We are sailing, stormy waters
To be near you, to be free
To be near you, to be near you, to be free.

The Water Is Wide lyrics - Celtic Woman

The water is wide I can't cross o'er
And I'ver have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

A ship there is and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim

[Bagpipe solo]

The water is wide I can't cross o'er
And I'ver have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
And both shall row, my love and I
My love and I
My love and I
My love and I

Bridge Over Troubled Water lyrics - Celtic Woman

When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all

I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you

I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on Silver Girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine (See how they shine)
If you need a friend (If you need a friend)
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
I will ease your mind.

Black Is The Colour lyrics - Celtic Woman

Black is the colour of my true love's hair.
Her lips are like some roses fair.
She has the sweetest face and the gentlest touch.
I love the ground whereon she stands.

I love my love and well she knows.
I love the ground whereon she goes.
And how I wish the day would come
When she and I can be as one.

Black is the colour of my true love's hair.
Her lips are like some roses fair.
She has the sweetest face and the gentlest touch.
I love the ground whereon she stands.
I love the ground whereon she stands.

Black is the colour of my true love's hair.
Her lips are like a rose so fair.
She has the sweetest face and the gentlest hands.
I love the ground whereon she stands.
I love the ground whereon she stands.
I love the ground whereon she stands.

Follow On lyrics - Celtic Woman

When all is said and done,
you are the only one

The shadows on the windows,
Chains upon the door
Sleepless nights been waiting for an answer
Dreams of heaven falling,
Panic in the town
Lowly men with fingers on the future

When all is said and done,
you are the only one

Follow on,
for the open road is waiting
Like the sun,
we will welcome what tomorrow has to bring
Be it fair or stormy weather
Take my hand,
and we'll walk the road together
I won't mind,
if it turns out that we never find the end
'Cause all I ask is that you want me as a friend

Days of beauty calling
Vanish through a haze
Lost inside some spiral with no ending
Still you bring me loving,
Free me with a touch
Lead me out to greet the calm decending

When all is said and done,
You are the only one

Follow on,
for the open road is waiting
Like the sun,
we will welcome what tomorrow has to bring
Be it fair or stormy weather
Take my hand,
and we'll walk the road together
I won't mind,
if it turns out that we never find the end
'Cause all I ask is that you want me as a friend

All I ask is that you want me as a friend
And we'll walk the road together
I won't mind,
if it turns out that we never find the end
'Cause all I ask is that you want me as a friend

All I ask is that you want me as a friend

When all is said and done,
You are the only one

Follow on.

Téir Abhaile Riú lyrics - Celtic Woman

Look how the light of the town
the lights of the town are shining now
Tonight I'll be dancing around
I'm off on the road to Galway now
Look how she's off on the town
She's off on a search for sailors though
There's fine fellas here to be found
She's never been one to stay at home

Home you'll go and it's there you'll stay
And you've work to do in the morning
Give up your dream of going away
Forget your sailors in Galway

Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta

Come now and follow me down
Down to the lights of Galway where
There's fine sailors walking the town
And waiting to meet the ladies there
Watch now he'll soon be along
He's finer than any sailor so
Come on now pick up your spoons
He's waiting to hear you play them WHOOO!

Here today and she's gone tomorrow
And next she's going to Galway
Jiggin' around and off to town
And won't be back until morning

Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta

Off with a spring in my step
The sailors are searching Galway for
A young lady such as myself
For reels and jigs and maybe more
Stay here and never you mind
The lights of the town are blinding you
The sailors they come and they go
But listen to what's reminding you
Handsome men surrounding you
Dancing a reel around you

Home you'll go and it's there you'll stay
And you've work to do in the morning
Give up your dream of going away
Forget your sailors in Galway

Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta

Listen to the music flow
I'm falling for the flow of home
I'm home to dance till dawning

Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta

Stay a while and we'll dance together now
As the light is falling
We'll reel away till the break of day
And dance together till morning

Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta
Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta
do Mhargadh de - do mhargadh déanta

You'll Never Walk Alone lyrics - Celtic Woman

[Verse]
When you walk through the storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark

[Chorus]
Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

[Verse]

[Chorus]

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk, you'll never walk alone

A Spaceman Came Travelling lyrics - Celtic Woman

A spaceman came traveling on his ship from afar,
'Twas light years of time since his mission did start,
And over a village he halted his craft,
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star,

He followed a light, and came down to a shed,
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed,
A bright light of silver shone round his head,
And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid,

Then the stranger spoke, he said, "do not fear,
I come from a planet a long way from here,
And I bring a message for mankind to hear",
And suddenly the sweetest music, filled the air,

And it went la la la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la laaaa, la la la la la la la la la la,
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child,

This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
And many were awakened on hearing that sound,
And travelers on the road the village they found,
By the light of that ship in the sky,
Which shone all around,

And just before dawn, at the paling of the sky,
The stranger returned and said "now I must fly,
When two thousand years of your time has gone by,
This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry",

And it went la la la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la laaaa, la la la la la la la la la la,
This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry,
And it went la la la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la laaaa, la la la la la la la la la la,
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child.

Songs From The Heart: Walking The Night / Give Me Your Hand lyrics - Celtic Woman

Walking the night without you
Skies too high without you
Losing my way on silent roads without you
Long lone streets before me
No voice in the night to warn me
No sound of our songs
To bring you to me
Losing my way
Stars send me astray
Walking the night without you
Blind in sight without you
No song I learn
No way I turn
Brings you closer to me
Searching for songs without you
Moon so cold without you
Longing to be near
Straining to hear
A song from you
Walking the stars without you

It's calling through the dark
It's reeling in the heart
The sound of the pipes on the wind
The strains of the song
Carry me along
Sending me dancing again

From above and below
A sound soft and low
And the music's flowing through me like before
And the song that we once knew
Brings me back to you
Pipes play within me once more

Your songs are in my heart
They like a dart
So come give me your hand
Now and we'll dance tonight
In the blazing light
And the years will fade away
Fade as you play
Play through the dark
Play in my heart

I'm spinning with the sound
There a drumming in the ground
And the humming of the song beneath my skin
And the world falls away
As I hear the pipes play
Sounding the song from within
From within

Your songs are in my heart
They like a dart
So come give me your hand
Now and we'll dance tonight
In the blazing light
And the years will fade away
Fade as you play
Play through the dark
Play in my heart

There's a drumming in the ground
And the humming of a sound
That we once knew

Come sing through the night
Come fill me with your light
Play a song sounding out through the years
Play it steady and strong
Fill me with song
Sending me dancing, sending me dancing
Dance as the pipes play away in my heart

Come give me your hand tonight
Your star is bright
Your songs are in my heart!

A Woman's Heart lyrics - Celtic Woman

[Chorus]
My heart is low, my heart is so low
As only a woman's heart can be
As only a woman's, as only a woman's
As only a woman's heart can know

The tears that drip
From my bewildered eyes
Taste of bitter sweet romance
You're still in my hopes
You're still on my mind
And even though I manage on my own

[Chorus]

When restless eyes
Reveal my troubled soul
And memories flood my weary heart
I mourn for my dreams
I mourn for my wasted love
And while I know that I'll survive alone

My heart is low, oh my heart is so low
As only a woman's heart can be
As only a woman's, as only a woman's
As only a woman's heart can know

[Chorus]

My heart is low, oh my heart is so low
As only a woman's heart can be
As only a woman's, as only a woman's
As only a woman's heart can know
Only a woman's heart can know.

The Parting Glass lyrics - Celtic Woman

Of all the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm I've ever done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To mem'ry now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all

[Chorus]
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate’er befalls
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all

Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it fell unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all

Fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate’er befalls
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all

La La

But since it fell unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all

[Chorus]

Good night and joy be to you all.

Smile lyrics - Celtic Woman

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
If you just smile
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use in crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
If you just smile, smile.

Green Grow The Rushes lyrics - Celtic Woman

There's not but care on every hand
In every hour that passes oh
What signifies the life of man
If it were not for the lassies oh

Green grow the rushes oh
Green grow the rushes oh
The sweetest hours that e'er I spent
Are spent among the lassies oh

The worldly race may riches chase
And riches still may fly them oh
And though at last they catch them fast
Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them oh

Green grow the rushes oh
Green grow the rushes oh
The sweetest hours that e'er I spent
Are spent among the lassies oh

The sweetest hours that e'er I spent
Are spent among the lassies oh

Green grow the rushes oh
Green grow the rushes oh
The sweetest hours that e'er I spent
Are spent among the lassies oh

Old nature swears the lovley dears
Her noblest work she classes oh
Her apprentice hand she tried on man
Then she made the lassies oh

Green grow the rushes oh
Green grow the rushes oh
The sweetest hours that e'er I spent
Are spent among the lassies oh

Green grow the rushes oh
Green grow the rushes oh
The sweetest hours that e'er I spent
Are spent among the lassies oh
Are spent among the lassies oh

Stay Awake lyrics - Celtic Woman

Stay awake, don't rest your head
Don't lie down upon your bed
As the moon drifts in the skies
Stay awake, don't close your eyes
Stay awake, don't close your eyes

Though the world is fast asleep
Though your pillow's soft and deep
You're not sleepy as you seem
Stay awake, don't nod and dream
Stay awake, don't nod and dream

Stay awake, don't rest your head
Don't lie down upon your bed
And while the moon drifts in the skies
Stay awake, don't close your eyes
Stay awake, don't close your eyes

Baby Mine lyrics - Celtic Woman

Baby mine don't you cry
Baby mine dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part baby of mine

Little one when you play
Don't you mind what they say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear baby of mine

If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for the right to hold you

From your head down to your toes
You're not much goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Sweet as can be baby of mine

Goodnight My Angel lyrics - Celtic Woman

Goodnight my angel.
Time to close your eyes.
And save these questions for another day.
I think I know what you've been asking me.
I think you know what I've been trying to say.
I promise I would never leave you.
And you should always know, I never will be far away.
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to sleep.
And still so many things I want to say.
Remember all the songs you sang for me.
When we went sailing on a emerald bay.
And like a boat out on the ocean.
I'm rocking you to sleep.
The water is dark and deep inside this mother's heart.
You'll always be a part of me.
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to dream.
And dream how wonderfull your life will be.
Some day a child may cry and if you sing this lullaby.
Then in your heart there will always be a part of me.

Over The Rainbow lyrics - Celtic Woman

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, then, oh why can't I?

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Suantrai lyrics - Celtic Woman

Seothó seothú ló
Seothó seothú ló
Seothú ló, seothú ló

Mo ghaol, mo ghrá 'gus m'eadúil thú
Mo stoirín úr is m'fhéirín thú
Mo mhacán álainn scéimheach thú
Chan fiú mé féin bheith 'd dháil

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Seothó seothú ló
Seothó seothú ló
Seothú ló, seothú ló

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia (alleluia)

Seothó seothú ló
Seothú ló, seothú ló, seothú ló

Walking In The Air lyrics - Celtic Woman

[Intro:]
Walking in the air, floating the sky...
Floating in the air...

We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly

We're holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you

Far across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills
The forest and the streams

Children gaze open mouthed
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes

We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy
mountains floating by

Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep

We're walking in the air
We're dancing in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

The Blessing lyrics - Celtic Woman

In the morning when you rise
I bless the sun, I bless the skies
I bless your lips, I bless your eyes
My blessing goes with you

In the nighttime when you sleep
Oh I bless you while a watch I keep
As you lie in slumber deep
My blessing goes with you

This is my prayer for you
There for you, ever true
Each, every day for you
In everything you do

And when you come to me
And hold me close to you
I bless you
And you bless me, too

When your weary heart is tired
If the world would leave you uninspired
When nothing more of love's desired
My blessing goes with you

When the storms of life are strong
When you're wounded, when you don't belong
When you no longer hear my song
My blessing goes with you

This is my prayer for you
There for you, ever true
Each, every day for you
In everything you do

And when you come to me
And hold me close to you
I bless you
And you bless me, too

I bless you
And you bless me, too

Brahms' Lullaby lyrics - Celtic Woman

Roses whisper good night 'neath silv'ry light
Asleep in the dew they hide from our view
When the dawn peepeth through God will wake them and you
When the dawn peepeth through God will wake them and you

Slumber sweetly my dear for the angels are near
To watch over you the silent night through
And to bear you above to the dreamland of love
And to bear you above to the dreamland of love

Hush Little Baby lyrics - Celtic Woman

Hush little baby don't say a word mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don't sing mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring
So hush little baby don't you cry your papa loves you and so do I
So hush little baby don't you cry your papa loves you and so do I

Fields Of Gold lyrics - Celtic Woman

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Among the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
And you can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
As you lie in fields of gold

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
