[Verse 1]
She put it right between my lips
And I bit down with the light
And I asked her had she anything
She handed me a light
And with that light I took a drag
And I watched the world go by
You were mine and I was yours
And our limit was the sky

[Chorus]
And we watched time go by
Well I told her ask me anything
She asked me how to cry
And when I think of you I know
Forever I will be
Happy as the fool because together we are free

[Verse 2]
Well we cantered on by the statue
Where once Phil Lynott stood
Met by his [?] being hoisted outside Mary's Pub
He'd never seen the like before
Rare seemed so daft
And the cobbles were lit up by the enchantment of your laugh
[Chorus]
And we watched time go by
Well I told her ask me anything
She asked me how to cry
And when I think of you I know forever I will be
Happy as the fool because together we are free

[Verse 3]
Well we watched the buskers play a tune in lower Grafton Street
And I tried to grab your finger but I wasn't so discreet
You smiled and braced my hand and pulled me into some old bar
And we drank a drop and we twirled and talked about our lives so far

[Chorus]
And we watched time go by
Well I told her ask me anything
She asked me how to cry
And when I think of you I know forever I will be
Happy as the fool because together we are free

[Verse 4]
Well he swallowed down his last drop
And began to feel the heat
And he gestured to the bar man that it was his time to leave
With a cap upon his head he thought of home in Skibbereen
Said we were the finest couple that his eyes had ever seen
[Chorus]
And we watched time go by
Well I told her ask me anything
She asked me how to cry
And when I think of you I know forever I will be
Happy as the fool because together we are free

[Verse 5]
And as she boards her plane back to her home in Amsterdam
She'll study for the year, before turning to her land
She said she loves a man and he is stationed far away
With him her precious love, she says, forever it will stay

[Chorus]
And we watched time go by
Well I told her ask me anything
She asked me how to cry
And when I think of you I know forever I will be
Happy as the fool because together we are free
