An Irish lad has broke my heart
I love him so that I could fall apart
Those lovely eyes of hazel green
The most gorgeous ever seen
I’m sure you know what I mean.

My darling Shane will never know
How I adore him, Oh I love him so
It really breaks my heart in two
So tell me what I have to do
to get this message through to you.

I love you with all my heart and we’ll never be apart
and our love will be strong, ‘cause together we belong.

So Gillian Walsh you’ll have to leave
I know you’re sad but very soon you’ll see
That Shane is happier with me
So pack your bags girl, run along
You’re no longer in this song.

My Sligo boy, you’re in my heart
I know that we will never be apart
Oh Shane will you please marry me
Then you’ll realise and see
That we were always meant to be.

I love you with all my heart and we’ll never be apart
And our love will be strong, ‘cause together we belong.
I love you with all my heart and we’ll never be apart
And our love will be strong, ‘cause together we belong.

Shane Steven Filan, you’re the one
We’ll have a life of love and joy and fun
You choose the date now I don’t mind
How ‘bout the fifth of July
Then you will be forever mine.

A country house and swimming pool
We can have kids and lots of horses too
Your family and mom and dad
Can move in too - I won’t be mad
As long as you are never sad.

I love you with all my heart and we’ll never be apart
And our love will be strong, ‘cause together we belong.
