Shades of Green (St Patrick's Day Song)

Verse 1 Woke up to a sky of clover, Lucky pennies on the street, Every doorway’s dressed in emerald, Feel that rhythm in your feet. From the hills to city sidewalks, Hear the fiddles start to play, Raise a cheer and pass the shamrock, It’s our favorite day! Pre-Chorus Paint your worries out of sight, Chase the gray with green tonight— Chorus Oh, we’re dancing in the shades of green, Laughing like we’re seventeen, Hearts as bright as ever seen On Saint Patrick’s Day. Spin me round, don’t miss a beat, Feel the luck from head to feet, Life is good and oh so sweet On Saint Patrick’s Day! Verse 2 Silver rivers shining brightly, Stories told of long ago, Legends drifting through the twilight, Where the wild winds blow. Tap your boots along the cobblestone, Sing it loud and sing it proud, Every stranger feels like family In this joyful crowd. Pre-Chorus Find your gold at rainbow’s end, Every foe becomes a friend— Chorus Oh, we’re dancing in the shades of green, Laughing like we’re seventeen, Hearts as bright as ever seen On Saint Patrick’s Day. Spin me round, don’t miss a beat, Feel the luck from head to feet, Life is good and oh so sweet On Saint Patrick’s Day! Bridge Here’s to hope that never fades, To the songs our mothers sang, To the pipes and rolling drums And the church bells as they rang. May the road rise up to meet us, May the good times always stay, With a little Irish magic Lighting up our way. Final Chorus (Big Finish) We’re dancing in the shades of green, Chasing every dream we’ve dreamed, Shining bright and living free On Saint Patrick’s Day! Raise a glass and let it sway, Let the music lead the way, We’ll remember how we felt On Saint Patrick’s Day
