G C
She put it right between my lips and I bit down with the light
G D
And I asked her had she anything and she handed me a light
G C
And with that light I took a drag and I watched the world go by
G D G
You were mine and I was yours and our limit was the sky
[Refrão]
G C G
And we watched, the time go by
D
Well I told her ask me anything, and she asked me how to cry
G C
And when I think of you I know forever I will be
G D G
Happy as the fool because together we are free
[Segunda Parte]
G C
Well we cantered on by the statue where once Phil Lynott stood
G D
Met by a scobe being hoisted outside Mary's Pub
G C
We'd never seen the like before, a rare scene so daft
G D G
The cobbles were lit up by the enchantment of your laugh
[Refrão]
G C G
And we watched, the time go by
D
Well I told her ask me anything, and she asked me how to cry
G C
And when I think of you I know forever I will be
G D G
Happy as the fool because together we are free
[Terceira Parte]
G C
Well we watched the buskers play a tune on lower Grafton Street
G D
And I tried to grab your finger but I wasn't so discrete
G C
You smiled, embraced my hand and pulled me into some old bar
G D G
We drank a drop and we twirled and talked about our lives so far
[Refrão]
G C G
And we watched, the time go by
D
Well I told her ask me anything, and she asked me how to cry
G C
And when I think of you I know forever I will be
G D G
Happy as the fool because together we are free
[Quarta Parte]
G C
He swallowed down his last drop and began to feel the heat
G D
And he gestured to the barman that it was his time to leave
G C
With a cap upon his head he thought of home in Skibbereen
G D G
He said we were the finest couple that his eyes had ever seen
[Refrão]
G C G
And we watched, the time go by
D
Well I told her ask me anything, and she asked me how to cry
G C
And when I think of you I know forever I will be
G D G
Happy as the fool because together we are free

[Quinta Parte]
G C
Now she boards her plane back to her home in Amsterdam
G D
She'll study for the year before returning to our land
G C
She said she loves a man and he is stationed far away
G D G
With him her precious love she says forever it will stay
[Refrão]
G C G
And we watched, the time go by
D
Well I told her ask me anything, and she asked me how to cry
G C
And when I think of you I know forever I will be
G D G
Happy as the fool because together we are free
