We have a love strong as the mountains
We have a love as deep as the sea
We have a love bright as the sunrise -
Strong as the summer winds
Chorus
Tá tú in éineacht liom mar lámhlorg ar mo croí
You are with me, O you are with me
Like a handprint on my heart.
You sing to my heart as the dawn sings of sunlight
You sing to my heart like the warm summer breeze
You sing to my heart as the bright summer blossoms
Sing to the honeybee
Chorus
Sweet is the sound of your bright ringing laughter
Sweet is the smile as it lights up your face
Sweet is your touch and your arms strong around me
Sweet is this joyfilled embrace

I saw the Honeybee
Dancing over the meadows green
Dance in joy completely free
The sweetest thing I had ever seen
From each blossom a sweet ambrosia
Was carried off in the summer air
It was poetry in motion
And then I saw you dancing there
All in one moment
It happened suddenly
My heart had opened
Like the blossom to the bee
You bring my heart sweetness
You bring my heart joy
Nothing sweeter than the love between us
This love is sweet as nectar
Our love will endure
Like Honey and Holy Water
You are the answer to my prayers
Now through the seasons we’ve danced together
Under the sun and beneath the stars
In stormy skies you are my shelter
You are the fire within my hearth
You are my love and my greatest treasure
My heart is dancing my words are true
Like honeycombs in the depth of winter
The sweetest thing in my life is you
Honey tastes sweeter
Coming from your hand
Honey tastes sweeter
Coming from your hand
You bring my heart sweetness
You bring my heart joy
Nothing sweeter than the love between us
This love is sweet as nectar
Our love will endure
Like Honey and Holy Water
You are the answer to my prayers!

Here in the firelight your hand in mine
The stars blaze so bright the evening sweet and fine
The rising moon lifts the dark
The love between us is the spark
An croi ar las Hearts on fire!
An croi ar las Burning bright!
An croi ar las Hearts on fire!
Oh come share the light!
This fiery hearth where magic starts
Joyful hands joyful hearts
A beacon blazing - a midnight sun
Warm our hearts til the break of dawn
Dreaming with you together
Dreaming with two strong hearts
Dreaming into forever
Through the embers to the stars
An croi ar las Hearts on fire!
An croi ar las Burning bright!
An croi ar las Hearts on fire!
Oh come share the light!
Illumination of the hearth
A constellation of swirling sparks
The fire deepens as it burns
Dreaming strengthens hope returns
Dreaming with you together
Dreaming with two strong hearts
Dreaming into forever
Through the embers to the stars
An croi ar las Hearts on fire!
An croi ar las Burning bright!
An croi ar las Hearts on fire!
Oh come share the light!

Moonlight shines honeycomb gold
The sky is midnight blue
The moon was made for the sky to hold
And I was made for you
So raise your glass
The taste so sweet!
Bless the hands that made this mead,
And bless the sweet Honeybee!
Take my hand - dance with me.
The Evenstar sings a song of love,
Round the moon luminous.
Eternity dances above,
Tonight they dance for us
So raise your glass
The taste so sweet!
Bless the hands that made this mead,
And bless the sweet Honeybee!
Take my hand - dance with me.

First snowfall silent the night
Autumn gold fades to silver and white
Snow upon the honey roads
Sweet memories lead me home
Chorus
I will arise now, I will do down
I will go down, down to the bee loud glade.
Find peace there, peace comes flowing slow
In the midsummer sun’s warm golden honey glow
Through whitened banks sings the whispering stream
The harvest waltz now winter’s dream
You fill my heart, my heart is a honeycomb
Memory sweet now as it was long ago
Chorus
Though those sweet days will never come again
Here in my heart the sweetness of you remains
I thought my memories would only dim and fade
But they are golden down in the bee loud glade
Chorus

Beautiful Mother
08:36
|
|||
|
In the stillness I can hear
Across the sky your song of joy
Fill the world, bright as the sun
Held in your warmth, my heart is full
Sing to me beneath the sun.
In the stillness I hear the song
In the winds that whisper through
Shining birch, stately pine,
Mighty oak, silent ash
Sing to me beneath the boughs
In the stillness I hear the song
In the shining waters all around
Flowing rivers, turning tides
Silent pools, soothing rains
Sing to me upon the shore
All around me I hear the song
Beneath the silence of the stones
Song of wisdom, teach me how
To endure mountain strong
Lift me up so I stand tall
Lead me on in wonderment
Lift my eyes to behold
Darkness lifted by the dawn
Beautiful light in the golden noon
Sunsets woven red and gold
Make me ready to come to you
With clean hands and shining eyes
So when life fades as sunset fades,
I shine bright as a midnight star.
And I come home singing
Beautiful Mother, I can hear
Beneath the stars, your song of Joy
Held in your warmth, my heart is full
I lift my voice upon the winds
I sing to you, beneath the moon.
