Once In a Life Time

The Emerald Isle was bright one day
with laughter to share with one and all
for all to be glad and to play.

The music was gay with songs to sing
voice sang out songs of old
so everyone could join in and sing.

Sing to their hearts content
for all to be merry and gay
with shared the love which was sent.

Song of old, did they sing
ones that had been sent from old
to the new to sing and swing.

The fiddles rang out the new
as the stories of old were told
and so they would pass to the new.

All the fairies, and leprechauns were seen
that every day, so they say
once in a life time, in this emerald scene.
