[Verse] Through the mist of the morning light I wandered down the lane Where the heather blooms and the lark takes flight Her song a sweet refrain And there beneath the ancient oak Her smile so fair and free The lass of the glen with her raven hair was weaving dreams for me [Chorus] Oh The lass of the glen With her eyes of emerald hue She dances like the rippling brook beneath the morning dew Her laughter’s like the tinkling chime Her voice a lilting air The lass of the glen She’s beyond compare [Verse] Her footsteps graced the forest floor As light as dappled sun Her words a spell A melody That binds my heart as one Through fields of green and silver streams We wandered hand in hand The lass of the glen and her faithful man Together we will stand [Chorus] Oh The lass of the glen With her eyes of emerald hue She dances like the rippling brook beneath the morning dew Her laughter’s like the tinkling chime Her voice a lilting air The lass of the glen She’s beyond compare [Bridge] The fiddle played a lively tune The bodhrán kept the time The harp sang soft of love’s embrace In notes both sweet and prime And there beneath the starlit sky My heart she claimed her own The lass of the glen My forever home [Chorus] Oh The lass of the glen With her eyes of emerald hue She dances like the rippling brook beneath the morning dew Her laughter’s like the tinkling chime Her voice a lilting air The lass of the glen She’s beyond compare
