I’ll Take A Glass lyrics
by Finbar FureyI know the grey clouds over me,
Will one day roll on by
And I know the sun will shine again
On this crazy heart of mine.
I’ll take a glass and I’ll raise it to all
That’s said and done
Then I’ll sing and dance oh the starlight night
Beneath the moon where love succumbed.
Some say people change with time
And I know maybe some
I know the future it waits for no one
And the past holds right from wrong
I’ll take a glass and I’ll raise it to all
That’s said and done
Then I’ll sing and dance the starlight night
Beneath the moon where love succumbed.
Moonlight, roses, I remember you
Moonlight, roses, I remember you
I don’t know where the past has gone,
I just know I haven’t failed
And I know the sun will shine again
On this crazy heart of mine.
And I’ll take a glass and I’ll raise it to all
That’s said and done
Then I’ll sing and dance the starlight night
Beneath the moon where love succumbed.
Moonlight, roses, I remember you.
Moonlight, roses, I remember you.
Moonlight, roses, I remember you.
Moonlight, roses, I remember you.
