Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer’s gone and all the roses falling
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide
But come you back when the summer’s in the meadow
Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow
'Tis I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so
And when you come and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
You’ll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me
And I shall hear though soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be
When you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me
This song was surely meant for a woman to sing. It is a love song directed to a young man. And this version is wonderful! I am getting tears in my eyes. And she is tearing up while she sings it! The most heartbreaking song of love I ever heard.
Deanna, for me, was the true voice for Danny Boy. The movie was awesome. Her voice was a blessing from Heaven and no-one can put the heart in your throat like she could. She will be greatly missed.
I have a really wide taste in music from Glen Miller to Marvin Gaye .
but there are some songs that don't fall in my music genre , that are just classic songs Iv heard it sang many times by different singers , but Deanne voice makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up , pure beauty .
Best version ever! The lady is so under-rated but like Judy Garland she gave such hope to poor people around the world during the Depression and the hard times of the 30's (her films were massively popular lest we forget). She's not only a populist hero but with that voice she walks with angels...god bless her.
Her voice is amazing, her acting is outstanding, and her beauty is overwhelming. Whats more her version of this song is so heartfelt and wonderful it brings tears to my eyes
When I first heard she could sing, I was surprised, and then blown away by that voice! Beautiful. Thank God for all the great singers who have touched my heart my whole life. They are treasures!
Aye! And a fairer maiden never graced this good earth. The most beautiful angel sang the most honest rendition, and with a tear in her eye. Bow down and kiss the earth beneath her feet, for you are in the presence of the voice of God in female form..
