May, Imelda - The Girl I Used To Be Lyrics
Once upon a time
A Dublin girl ran free
Down the cobblestones
Round pubs and homes
As rich as she could be
Climbing up Bray Head
Her lips were warmed
With pots of tea
Chips and buttered bread
Fed love from Mam and Da
They raised her up
They made her fly
They gave her roots and wings
As time moves on and years go by
She's the girl I used to be
The playgrounds all came down
And we mourned our factories
Times were tough, but I had enough
I had my family
Life kicked in with all its might
But my strong heart wouldn't break
I got kicked around and broken down
I took all that I could take
But you raise me up
You made me fly
You gave me roots and wings
As time moves on and years go by
I miss those simple things
And the girl I used to be
Now I'm grown with a child of my own
And I hope to God on high
That these are the days she thinks upon
As the best days of her life
And I'll raise her up
I'll make her fly
I'll give her roots and wings
As time moves on and years go by
She'll miss those simple things
And the girl she used to be
She's the girl I used to be

Beautiful song ,beautiful lady
I loved it! Captures the memories of childhood perfectly and the circle of life as well. How we all wish these experiences for our children. Well done!
Love this. Brings tears to me eyes when I think of my own mother & father who recently both passed away and this just sums it up.
Love this one!
A beautiful song of Mother and daughter. Xx
