Dublin Serenade

Daybreak and we're greeted By an impish old chap He tells us there's a bar here Puts Dublin on the map Tiptoe to the basement There's Irish craic galore A certain kind of magic Behind the cellar door Prowling down the alleys The night is so sweet The city's got rhythm I can feel it in my feet Pass upon the cellar Where the Guinness goes quite cheap The door is ajar The city asleep Let the midnight glow enfold you Let it take your arms and hold you And lay your sleepy head against the sky Here's a man who sings so gently Behind our pints we gaze intently Enchanted by a Dublin serenade Cynical and tipsy Our expectations low But the warmth is so inviting And we've nowhere else to go I hear a voice a-callin' Like a siren from the bay Charming and bewitching me By a melody he plays Everybody's silent They listen to the man Delicately plucking And I'm instantly a fan a sentimental that feel so close reminiscent of the records I've loved so tenderly Let the midnight glow enfold you Let it take your arms and hold you And lay your sleepy head against the sky Here's a man who sings so gently Behind our pints we gaze intently Enchanted by a Dublin serenade As darkness her shadow The gentleman casts his spell Candles flicker but you You're out like a light So tonight I think that you should Let the midnight glow enfold you Let it take your arms and hold you And lay your sleepy head against the sky Here's a man who sings so gently Behind our pints we gaze intently Enchanted by a Dublin serenade
