Original lyrics
ENI held your hand beneath the twilight skies
The bagpipes wept as stars began to rise
Your voice still lingers
Soft as morning rain
But now I walk this path alone in pain
Love of my soul
Though the night is long
I'll carry your name in a sorrowful song
Through shadow valley where the cold winds
I love you forever
Oh, I must say goodbye
The harp still plays the melody
Each note reminds me I once lived with you
The fiddle cries
The echoes drift away
Yet in my heart your spirit stays
Love of my soul
Though the night is long
I'll carry your name in a sorrowful song
Through shadow valley where the cold winds blow
I love you forever
Oh, I must say goodbye
If heaven calls, may the pipes still play
To guide your soul where the light will stay
And when my time comes, let the song be true
I'll find my rest, returning to you
Love of my soul
Though the night is long
I'll carry your name in a sorrowful song
Through shadow valley where the cold winds blow
I love you forever
Oh, I will say goodbye
