We were sweethearts when at school,
Though you broke each golden rule
I loved you but my eyes refused to see:
But I’m gonna search around
My darling till you’re found,
For you mean all the world and more to me.

You may hide yourself on Mourne’s rugged mountains,
You may wander as you will across Tralee;
But as the Liffey flows
I’ll find you, heaven knows,
For you mean all the world and more to me.

You may hide yourself away by the shores of Galway Bay
Or go walking where the Shannon meets the sea;
But as the shamrock grows
I’ll find you, heaven knows,
For you mean all the world and more to me.

Along this dark and lonely road I wander
With a heartache and a faded memory;
But as the shamrock grows
I’ll find you, heaven knows,
For you mean all the world and more to me,
For you mean all the world and more to me.
