when the moon is shining across the galway bay
lighting up the shore from many miles away
all the stars above twinkle in the night
like lots of little diamonds shining there so bright.

everything so peaceful and the world feels free
the moon on galway bay warms the heart in me
the rolling of the tide coming in once more
coming home again returning to the shore.

the blowing of the breeze as gentle as can be
makes me feel so calm sets my spirit free
clouds they look like silk pure and so white
as they go floating by on a galway night

the world it seems at peace as tranquil as can be
in the night so still wakes the soul in me
surrounded by the moon and the stars above
such a lovely place that fills my heart with love.
