As I Leave Behind Néidín - Tommy Fleming

Tommy Fleming singing As I Leave Behind Néidín, written by Jimmy McCarthy.

As I leave behind néidín
It's like purple splashed on green
My soul is strangely fed
Through the winding hills ahead
And she plays a melody
On wind and streams for me

Chorus

Won't you remember
Won't you remember
Won't you remember me
Won't you remember
Won't you remember
Won't you remember me

And we wind and climb and fall
Like the greatest waltz of all
Float across the floor
Her sweet breath outside the door
And it's time that I was gone
Cross the silver tear

Chorus

As I leave behind néidín
In the hall where we have been
Rhododendrons in her hair
Through the mountain scented air
I still feel her spirit song
Cross the silver tear

Won't you remember
Won't you remember
Won't you remember me
Won't you remember
Won't you remember
Won't you remember me

Tommy is easily Irelands favorite son. He has the voice of an angel.

If Tommy Fleming is not in the top 10 in Ireland.....he should be. He has a fantastic voice, and he's cute. Thanks for the upload Machree01. Jan from Georgia USA
