Grateful For Music Challenge Day 29
Song(s): Danny Boy & Together Again
Uggggghhhh.
I suck.
That's all I'll say about that.
Today is a bittersweet day. It would have been my grandpas 91st birthday if he were still here. Can't believe he's been gone these pat 5 months. In his memory, I'm sharing a couple of songs.
Danny Boy
This was one of my grandpas favorite songs. 🧡 Even now, I can so clearly see and hear him sing along to this beloved tune. My grandpa had a deep appreciation for music and always sang with his whole heart. He also enjoyed making up silly little songs and poem. I miss him so much! 💔
O 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
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or all the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
O Danny boy, O Danny boy, I love you so
When winter's come and all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me
But I shall hear though soft you tread above me
And all my grave shall 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
O Danny boy, the stream flows cool and slowly
And pipes still call and echo 'cross the glen
Your broken mother sighs and feels so lowly
For you have not returned to smile again
So if you've died and crossed the stream before us
We pray that angels met you on the shore
And you'll look down, and gently you'll implore us
To live so we may see your smiling face once more
Once more
Together Again
This was my first song post this month. It makes me think of my grandpa because he always had the biggest, happiest smile on his face! He always seemed so happy all of the time. I wish I could be like that. Instead, I just have a bad attitude and give of major RBF everywhere I go (I'm sure the poor teenage boys at the pizza shop all whispered about what a scary and cranky old lady I was tonight. *sigh.* 😒 My grandpa would never have acted like that. He was always so cheery and could easily strike up a friendly conversation and share a laugh with whomever he met). I love this cover (almost more than the original version because it's toned down a little bit, the way I feel the song should be regarding the lyrics). I've listened to this several times today, thinking about my sweet grandpa. 🧡 I'll see you're smile on every face I come across. I love you grandpa!!
There are times when I look above and beyond
There are times when I feel your love around me, baby
I'll never forget my baby
There are times when I look above and beyond
There are times when I feel your love around me, baby
I'll never forget my baby
When I feel that I don't belong
Draw my strength from the words when you said
Hey, it's about you, baby
Look deeper inside you, baby
Dream about us together again
What I want: us together again, baby
I know we'll be together again, 'cause
Everywhere I go, every smile I see
I know you are there smilin' back at me
Dancin' in moonlight, I know you are free
'Cause I can see your star shinin' down on me
Always been a true angel to me - now above
I can't wait for you to wrap your wings around me, baby
Wrap them around me, baby
Sometimes hear you whisperin' "No more pain"
No worries will you ever see now, baby
I'm so happy for my baby
Cause everywhere I go, every smile I see
I know you are there smilin' back at me
Dancin' in moonlight, I know you are free
'Cause I can see your star shinin' down on me
HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA!! 🕊🤍
I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!
