SONG ..DANNY BOY.. written by fredrick edward weathrn
song ..When Irish Eyes Are Smilling.. unknown

Oh Danny Boy,The Pipes the Pipes are Calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadOW
Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dyiNg
And I am dead, adead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be

WHEN IRISH EYES ARE SMILLING
WHEN IRISH EYES ARE SMILING
(Song Writer: unknown/ melody)
There's a tear in your eye,
And I'm wondering why
For it never should be there at all

With such power in your smile,
Sure a stone you'd beguile
So there's never a teardrop should fall.

When your sweet lilting laughter's
Like some fairy song
And your eyes twinkle bright as can be

You should laugh all the while
And all other times smile
And now smile a smile for me.

Chorus:

When Irish eyes are smiling
Sure it's like a morning spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter,
You can hear the angels sing.

When Irish hearts are happy,
All the world seems bright and gay.
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, they steal your heart away.

If you'll not fail to tell me that you love mE
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

AMERICA.. quotes by John Wayne!!
You ask me why I love her? Well, give me time, and I'll explain...
Have you seen a Kansas sunset or an Arizona rain?
Have you drifted on a bayou down Louisiana way?
Have you watched the cold fog drifting over San Francisco Bay?
Have you heard a Bobwhite calling in the Carolina pines?
Or heard the bellow of a diesel in the Appalachia mines?
Does the call of Niagara thrill you when you hear her waters roar?
Do you look with awe and wonder at a Massachusetts shore...
Where men who braved a hard new world, first stepped on Plymouth Rock?
And do you think of them when you stroll along a New York City dock ?
Have you seen a snowflake drifting in the Rockies...way up high?
Have you seen the sun come blazing down from a bright Nevada sky?
Do you hail to the Columbia as she rushes to the sea...
Or bow your head at Gettysburg...in our struggle to be free?
Have you seen the mighty Tetons? ...Have you watched an eagle soar?
Have you seen the Mississippi roll along Missouri's shore?
Have you felt a chill at Michigan, when on a winters day,
Her waters rage along the shore in a thunderous display?
Does the word "Aloha"... make you warm?
Do you stare in disbelief When you see the surf come roaring
in at Waimea reef?
From Alaska's gold to the Everglades...from the Rio Grande to Maine...
My heart cries out... my pulse runs fast at the might of her domain.
You ask me why I love her?... I've a million reasons why.
My beautiful America... beneath God's wide, wide sky.
