lyrics

If you forgot St. Patrick’s Day,
“My eyes are green,” is what you’d say
I’ve always used the same excuse
‘Cause my eyes came from you

I’ve always been my mother’s son
Built like my dad, but I am more the quiet one
You did what none of us could do
But now those days are through

The spring was coming on
The baby blooms were peeking out to feel the sun
But my time had come and gone
To be with you
Some things just cannot be undone

I drove behind the ambulance
I knew you never stood a chance
The dawn was breaking in the east
And that breaking did not cease

We took a trip out to the beach
Just like we did when it was Dad and you and me
I thought about you in the sand
As I held my daughter’s hand

Now spring is coming on
And in the trees, the bluebird’s song is taking flight
And as I step into another season’s change,
I'll walk by faith and not by sight

And I won’t forget St. Patrick’s Day
I’ll wear some green and tell the kids what you would say
I’ll show them love that they can’t lose
I learned that from you
