Sung before written on a beach in Ireland.
I wish you could hear the sea, as I did as I walked on a beach in Ireland. The words and tune came to me as I was dodging the waves. I love the tune. The song was sung before it was written. Luckily I had a dictaphone with me. I am not a singer but as I do not read, write or play music this is the only way that I can get my song heard. I do not want to be a performer. I am a song writer first and foremost. I hope that you enjoy the song.

There's So Many Things In Ireland To Make You Smile.

With the turn of each tide,
The beach opens up wide,
The Irish sands stretch for many a mile;
And all around can be seen
More than forty shades of green,
There’s so many things in Ireland to make you smile.


At the water’s edge I walk, waves gently lap the shore,
I feel so happy to be back home.
The lilting Irish voices talk and in my mind I store
Pictures that I’ll take where ere I roam.

Clouds scud across the sky, the sun’s warm on my back,
The sound of the sea is ringing in my ears;
And I get to wondering why
I joined the world’s rat-race track,
To come back home has taken many years.

As I climb up off the beach, Irish jigs play in a bar,
And my heart is dancing with the beat,
Here heaven is within reach,
I’m much happier by far than when I’m walking down a city street.

With the turn of each tide,
The beach opens up wide,
The Irish sands stretch for many a mile;
And all around can be seen
More than forty shades of green,
There’s so many things in Ireland to make you smile.

And all around can be seen
Far more than forty shades of green,
Oh Yes, there’s so many things in Ireland to make you smile.
