Totally enthralled with Celtic Thunder, I have put together a collection of lyrics and the corresponding You Tube videos so you can see them in all their glory. They are coming here to St. Louis, October 17, 2008 and I am ALL over that! Thankfully Mike loves them too and will go with me (Hey - I’ve had to endure Celtic Women for the past year or so, along with The Corrs - thankfully I love both of them).
So here is a great little list of all the lyrics and video. If a song isn’t here, it is on its way. This post is updated regularly.
I Wanna Know What Love Is (Celtic Thunder Lyrics) sung by Keith Harkin
Gonna take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I’m older
Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life there’s been heartache and pain
I don’t know if I can face it again
Can’t stop now, I’ve travelled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
And I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
And I know you can show me
Im gonna take a little time
I’m gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
Cos I’ve got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
In my life there’s been heartache and pain
I don’t know if I can face it again
I can’t stop now, I’ve traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
And I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
And I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
I know you can show me
I want to feel what love is
And I know you can show me
She may be the face I can’t forget
A trace of pleasure or regret
Maybe my treasure or the price I have to pay
She may be the song the summer sings
May be the chill the autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day
She may be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a Heaven or a Hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
A smile reflected in the stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell
She, who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one’s allowed to see them, when they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
That comes to me from shadows in the past
And I’ll remember ’till the day I die
She maybe the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I’m alive
The one I care for through the rough and ready years
Me, I’ll take the laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I’ve got to be
The meaning of my life is
She
She
Oh, she….
Danny Boy (Celtic Thunder Lyrics) sung by Celtic Thunder
Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountainside.
The summer’s gone, and all the roses falling.
It’s you, It’s you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow
Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow,
It’s I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow.
Oh Danny Boy, Oh Danny Boy, I love you so.
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be.
Ye’ll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
And you will bend and tell me that you love me,
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.
Oh Danny Boy, Oh Danny Boy,(hold for as long as desired) I love you so!
Desperado (Celtic Thunder Lyrics) sung by Ryan Kelly (orginally by The Eagles)
Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?
You been out ridin’ fences for so long now
Oh, you’re a hard one
And I know that you’ve got your reasons
These things that are pleasin’ you
Hurt you somehow
Don’t you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She’ll beat you if she’s able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, that some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can’t get
Desperado, oh, you ain’t gettin’ no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they’re drivin’ you home
And freedom, oh freedom, that’s just some people talkin’
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don’t your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won’t snow and the sun won’t shine
It’s hard to tell the night time from the day
Well you’re losin’ all your highs and lows
Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin’, but there’s a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you,
You better let somebody love you, before it’s too late
It’s too late
My Boy (Celtic Thunder Lyrics) sung by George Donaldson
You’re sleeping son, I know
But, really, this can’t wait
I wanted to explain
Before it gets too late
For your mother and me
Love has finally died
This is no happy home
But God knows how I’ve tried
Because you’re all I have, my boy
You are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
I know, it’s hard to understand
Why did we ever start?
We’re more like strangers now
Each acting out a part
I have laughed, I have cried
I have lost every game
I’ve taken all I can take
But I’ll stay just the same
Because you’re all I have, my boy
You are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
Sleep on, you haven’t heard a word
Perhaps it’s just as well
Why spoil your little dreams
Why put you through that hell
Life is no fairytale
As one day you will know
But now you’re just a child
I’ll stay her and watch you grow
Because you’re all I have, my boy
You are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
Because you’re all I have, my boy
You are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
My Boy
Steal Away (Celtic Thunder Lyrics) sung by Celtic Thunder
Steal away, let’s steal away,
No reason left to stay.
For me and you,
Let’s start anew,
And darlin’ steal away.
Ooooh, ooooh
Let’s steal away and chase our dream,
And hope they never find us.
The deary days, the empty nights,
We’ll leave them all behind us.
Ooooh, aaaaah
Steal away, let’s steal away
No reason left to stay.
For me and you,
Let’s start anew,
And darlin’ steal away.
Oooooh.
We’ll leave with just our memories,
And make a new beginning.
We have to choose,
To win or lose,
And it’s time we started winning.
Mmmmm, aaaaah
Steal away, let’s steal away,
No reason left to stay.
For me and you,
Let’s start anew,
And darlin’ steal away.
Steal away, let’s steal away,
No reason left to stay.
For me and you,
Let’s start anew,
And darlin’ steal away.
