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
everything felt peaceful everything felt right
sit down by the river watch the shannon flow
flowing very gently flowing calm and slow

with the moon above lighting up the sky
shining on the river as it went rolling bye
we would sit for hours very much in love
counting all the stars shining up above


with a gentle breeze blowing wild and free
blowing through her hair as gentle has can be
watching all the clouds as they go passing bye
everything so peaceful in the moonlit 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
