And when we sang, we sang like the stars,
We sang like the wind, we sang like the dark,
We sang like old women weeping in cathedrals,
We sang like whiskey in the jar,
When we sang, we sang like the stars.

And when we sang, we sang like the sun,
We sang like the breeze, floating through the trees,
We sang like quiet spaces in fresh green forests,
The long green corridors of summer,
When we sang, we sang like the sun.

And when we sang, in glorious technicolour,
Of our lives, the time that we spent together,
Where you alone, you are the only hero,
In this movie that you call your life,
And then we bow, and the blossoms come tumbling round us,
The curtain falls, the darkness will all surround us,
We slip away and say – remember me with love,
Remember me with love,

And when we sang, we sang like the sea, 
We sang like the moon, we sang like the tide,
We sang like distant palaces by moonlight,
Like cities drowned beneath the starlight,
Like prisoners breaking free,
When we sang, we sang like the sea.

We sang for Ireland and for glory and for home,
Yeah we sang for Ireland, we drank for Irealnd,
We danced for Ireland and we cried for Ireland,
For Ireland and for glory and for home.

And when we sang, we sang like the stars,
We sang like the wind, we sang like the dark,
We sang like old women weeping in cathedrals,
We sang like whiskey in the jar,
When we sang, we sang like the stars.
