Danny Boy
By Candi Marie

They said nice things about you in the paper today
But that doesn't take away the look on your wife's face.
Oh Danny Boy, oh danny boy
A thousand pipes are calling you home home home.

Fallen heroes are only rising angels.
But I prayed we'd never have to see the day
Where you wouldn't see another day.

The mailbox holds the letter that tells me of you.
Ten thousand tear drops just won't fill your shoes.

Oh Danny Boy, oh danny boy
Oh Danny Boy, oh danny boy

A thousand pipes are calling you home, home, home

Fallen heroes are only rising angels
But I prayed, we'd never have to see the day
Where you wouldn't see another day
Where you wouldn't see another day
Where you wouldn't see another day.

They said nice things about you in the paper today.
But that doesn't take away the look on your wife's face.

Hey Swedenair!!! Thank you so much, I actually do cover the original song too, it's a very special song to me. I'll probably end up putting a copy of it online. Really happy that you caught the reference! Thanks again. Candice

Oustanding. Nothing else more to be said. "Daniel Jonh Patrick Murphy" Cpt. U.S. Army (Ret).....Still "Danny Boy" at home. Ramger's Lead the Way. whoooahhh. Honestly great voice, guitar, lyrics, and presentation. Other words comes to mind: Talent, skills,obsevation, traning. I know this is 3 yrs late but I was kinda busy somewhere.
