i took a trip to ireland to dear old county clare
there i fell in love with a girl that i met there
the way she looked at me with her eyes a glow
thats when i fell in love my heart it told me so

we would watch the stars twinkle in the night
with the moon above shining oh so bright
sit down by the river watch the shannon flow
flowing very gently flowing nice and slow

with the moon above lighting up the sky
shining on the river as it went floating bye
we would sit for hours hold each other tight
underneath the moon lighting up the night

with a gentle breeze blowing wild and free
blowing through her hair as gentle has can be
with the stars above that twinkled way up high
and the moon above lighting up the sky

i wont forget my trip to dear old county clare
when i fell in love with the girl that i met there
the way she looked at me with her eyes aglow
by the river shannon as we watched the water flow
