The Irish Descendants - Madeline lyrics

She had beauty, she was fair and a smile that made you warm just to be near, and she sang with a voice, that swept up your soul in her arms and carried it away, how could I ever dream, that she'd be mine someday, no handsome feature on my face, no wealth to give away. She had beauty, she was fair and in the dreams of every man they held her near, they courted her heart in hopes they could make it their own, she chose to stay alone, I had nothing but my love to offer her that day, still when I asked her for her hand she gave it right away And the heart of Madeline was mine, nobody knew sweet Madeline like I, and if your heart has never known love, I hope someday you find, a gift like her heart was to mine She had eyes as black as coal, deep enough to drown your very soul, and as the years went on, I learned to love that woman even more than the pa**ing years before, so much so I feared that if someday we should part, I could not live out my life, without that woman's heart And the heart of Madeline was mine, nobody knew sweet Madeline like I, and if your heart has never known love, i hope someday you find, a gift like her heart was to mine x2 A gift like her heart, was to mine
