Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
Long before your time
| G | C | D | G |
| You | ask me why I look so sad on | this bright | summer's | day, |
| G | C | D | G |
| And | why the tears are in my eyes and I | seem so | far a | way, |
| G | C | D | G |
| Well | sit yourself beside me love,and | put your | hand in | mine, |
| G | C | D | G |
| And I'll | tell you of someone I loved long | long be | fore your | time, |
Well im sittin here and thinking of thoes days so long ago,
When I was just a child like you and the girl I used to know,
Through fields of green we laughed and played and sang our merry rhymes,
O we were young and happy then,long ,long before your time.
Through childhood years our love did bloom,till our hearts were just as one,
And we promised each eternal love in the church below the town,
We settled in this little house I was proud to call her mine,
Oh we were young and happy then,long,long before your time.
One lovely year was all we had until the sickness came,
And stole the roses from her cheeks,my tears they fell like rain,
For nine long months she cattied you,but in the end she died,
She chose to go so you might live,long long before your time,
So you ask me why I look so sad on this bright summer's day,
And why the tears are in my eyes and I seem so far away,
Its just you seem a lot like her when your eyes look into mine,
And you smile so much like she did,long,long before your time.
