When you will bend and tell me that you love me, as dead i well may be, or when the valley s hushed and white with snow
if i am dead
and i shall sleep in peace until you come to me
tis i ll be here in sunshine or in shadow
And i shall hear though soft you tread above me, and i shall hear though soft you tread above me
the summer s gone and all the roses falling
You ll come and find the place where i am lying, and when you come and all the flowers are dying Cassidy, and i shall hear though soft you tread above me
The summer s gone and all the roses falling, oh danny boy, tis i ll be here in sunshine or in shadow
but come you back when the summer s in the meadow
I love you so, and i shall sleep in peace until you come to me
As dead i well may be, if i am dead, oh danny boy
Oh danny boy, and all my grave will warmer
Oh danny boy, tis you must go and i must bide
The summer s gone and all the roses falling, the pipes are calling
And kneel and say an ave there for me, and all my grave will warmer, tis i ll be here in sunshine or in shadow
from glen to glen and down the mountain side
if i am dead
I love you so, tis i ll be here in sunshine or in shadow
I love you so, and when you come and all the flowers are dying, and i shall hear though soft you tread above me
From glen to glen and down the mountain side, oh danny boy Boy, or when the valley s hushed and white with snow
As dead i well may be, i love you so Danny, the summer s gone and all the roses falling
Or when the valley s hushed and white with snow, and i shall hear though soft you tread above me
tis you must go and i must bide
the pipes are calling
And all my grave will warmer, the pipes are calling
Tis you must go and i must bide, oh danny boy Cassidy, or when the valley s hushed and white with snow
I can only imagine what it must have been like for her to take a breath and let it flow. Just amazing! Such beauty never left a human body. Never! The best part is she didn’t even know it. So pure. So authentic. So humble. Wow! Listen just really listen. Wow!! Thank you Eva.
I have just discovered Eva Cassidy ! The delicate purity and vocal clarity took my breath away. We are so fortunate to have these recordings of this amazing talent.
41 years ago today my dad left us. This was a favourite at our family parties. He insisted I sing while he played the mouth organ. Mum would be on the piano and all the family, nan aunties cousins would be round.
Miss those days ❤️❤️❤️❤️
As a full blooded Irish man who has heard this song sung hundreds of times by family and friends at weddings funerals and every other occasion when Irish people gather togather to sing, I can honestly say I have never heard it sung better and with more feeling than sung here by Eva .
How often I have sung this song and wished an angel whispered in my ear....now one has and shall never be the sames....How she exalts the simple yearning in this song embedded in all our hearts......Thank you, darling Eva.....
