"Sweet Irish Green" Lyric Submitted to Public Domain, by Gary E. Andrews, July 11, 2025
(Verse I)
I just wanted to get away,
where the sun shines bright,
and the palm trees sway!
I had no idea when I got here last night,
I'd find an island of pure delight!
(Verse II)
I saw the moon rise from the tide.
I heard loons on the lake,
I took a midnight ride.
I looked up from my breakfast of eggs and toast,
to see your car coming up the coast!
(Chorus)
Here comes the dream, the dream of last summer!
The girl I imagined you'd be!
You came to me singing that number,
from the isle of Sweet Irish Green.
(Verse III)
I just wanted to keep you near,
while the sun kissed sky,
burned both of us brown!
You dropped in on me out of the blue!
I couldn't help myself falling for you!
Here comes the dream, the dream of last summer!
The girl I imagined you'd be!
You came to me singing that number,
from the isle of Sweet Irish Green.
(Bridge/Coda)
Is this goodbye?
Will we meet again?
Was this some foolish fling?
Who keeps my heart?
Me or the moment with the girl, Sweet Irish Green!
The girl, Sweet Irish Green!
The girl, Sweet Irish Green!
(Oops! Forgot the balloon!)

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
