on an island in ireland
within the magical irish sea
dwells a lady named molly
who means the whole world to me .
the moment i saw her
she took my breath away
i loved her laughter
a smile shone from her eyes
her heart stopping beauty
spoke of romantic surprise .
her giggle enthralled me
when i finally took my chance
with the grace of the ballerina
she held me in a mystical trance .
i watched her gliding
across the dancefloor
and i knew i'd love her
until forever was no more .
when i held her and kissed her
i knew this was true love i felt
patiently courting
into one our hearts melt .
we talked of marriage
of what life held in store
as we watched the fishermen mending
their nets by the shore .
but duty was calling
and i had to leave her behind
though i carried her with me
in both heart and mind.
i'd heard the pain of being apart
can tear a soul in two
but i consoled my heart
by promising to return to you .
well darling i'm coming home
i've served and i've done my time
now we'll begin our new life together
sweet irish rose of mine .
