Mother Machree by Melody Greenwood Lyrics

There's a spot in my heart
Which no colleen may own
There's a depth in my soul
Never sounded or known;

There's a place in my mem'ry
My life, that you fill
No other can take it
No one ever will

[Chorus]
Sure, I love the dear silver
That shines in your hair
And the brow that's all furrowed
And wrinkled with care
I kiss the dear fingers
So toil-worn for me
Oh, God bless you and keep you
Mother Machree

Ev'ry sorrow or care
In the dear days gone by
Was made bright by the light
Of the smile in your eye
Like a candle that's set
In the window at night
Your fond love has cheered me
And guided me right

[Chorus]
(I kiss)
