Donegal Rain - Andy M. Stewart

My darling, do not break your heart

Though I leave this Irish shore

Though their cruel laws may force us to part

Fate may join we two once more

Take this farewell kiss as a token

Of my love while far I stray

For true love will never be broken

Let me kiss your tears away

Like the rain, like the rain

When he turned his back to Donegal

Her tears fell like the rain

Don’t let your eyes fill with sorrow, love

Don’t wet your pretty cheeks with tears

There will come a bright new tomorrow, love

There will come an end to fears

Dark may seem our lives' December

Time will bring to us the May

Love will guide me back, remember

Let me kiss your tears away

Like the rain, like the rain

When he turned his back to Donegal

Her tears fell like the rain

Take this jewelled ring to wear, my love

While I am o’er the wave

Next my heart you know I will wear, my love

This lock of hair you gave

Kiss me once before we sever

For my safety, say you’ll pray

You will be my dearest, forever, love

Let me kiss your tears away

Like the rain, just falling like the rain

When he turned his back to Donegal

Her tears fell like the rain

Like the rain, like the rain

When he turned his back to Donegal

His tears fell like the rain
