Irish Cousin lyrics

I'd like to say

That you gave me the best days of your life

So have one on me

I've been away

But I think of you much more these days

Thanks for the memories

Here comes the moon again

It makes me think of when I last saw

My Irish cousin

He looked so happy then

I can't believe that he's gone at all

My Irish cousin

He said "Surprise!"

And I could not believe my eyes

When I saw love

Yes, I saw love

Hey, it's good to hear your voice

Even if I'm number 32

In your little black book of things to do

Hey, would you like to go out today

Maybe see a show?

I don't know about you

So little time, so many things to do

I used to have

These conversations all of the time

With my Irish cousin

Well, here comes the moon again

I can't believe that's when I last saw

My Irish cousin

We had a row

In every bar in Dublin

But we loved it

'Cause we were equal

Two very lonely people

Oh, is it too late to tell him

How I miss him?

I can't remember kissing him goodbye

My Irish cousin

I let him down so many times

But he never kicked me out

He let me cry, he'd let me shout

He said "That's what it's all about"

Here comes the moon again

It makes me think of when I last saw

My Irish cousin

He made me laugh

Beyond the call of duty and I loved him

I'm so glad I told him

But maybe that's what did him in

I wouldn't put it past him

My Irish cousin

He said "Surprise!"

And I could not believe my eyes

When I saw love

Yes, I saw love

In my Irish cousin
