I Once Met A Young Girl Filled With Fire, That Saw Through My Front To This Shell Of A Man She Knew I'd Be A Handful From The Start, This Strong Willed Woman Had An Angel's Heart The Holes In These Wings Don't Allow Me To Fly So You'd Better Brace For A Life Of Pain, And If Fate Is The Path To This Better Life Somehow I Feel You'll Never See The Faces Change Chourus: Through Thick And Thin, She Stood By You She Held The Key To My Broken Heart I Look Back And Wonder, Sit And Ponder. How I Could Have Ever Neglected You. For The Blood Soaked Soil On The Old Ball Field, I Gambled On A Hand I Wasn't Ready To Lose But If The Tables Were Turned And I Faced The Troubles, Tough Times And Strugles I Put You Through I'd Of Been There As You Were Through Hardship And Horror My Life And My Love Are Pledged To You. Chorus: Remember The Nights She Waited And Wondered, Fused To A Myth That It Had Taken It's Toll. But This Godless Man Has Mended His Way, Never Again Will She Be Alone. I Remember It Well, Still I Always Knew That She Was Destined To Be My Bride This Woman Had Pride, She Was Full Of Life. I Could See The Passion In Her Eyes. She Thought She Found A Man, But She Fell For The Devil An Evil Monster In Disguise. Now I'll Honor And Obey, Forever Stay. True To You, My Irish Rose Chorus:
