Irish Blessings
May you live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live.
May your life be filled with happiness,
May you walk with a spring in your step,
May the angels guide your journey,
And all your promises be kept.
May you never want for anything, all the days of your life,
May your house be filled with laughter and never know strife,
And when your time comes, my darlin',
And you rest your weary head,
May you be 'half an hour in heaven a'fore
The Devil knows that you're dead!
May the roof above us never fall in,
And may the friends gathered below it never fall out.
May the saddest day of your future be no worse
Than the happiest day of your past.
May you have warm words on a cold evening,
A full moon on a dark night,
And the road downhill all the way to your door.
May the Lord keep you in His hand
And never close His fist too tight.
May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light,
May good luck pursue you each morning and night.
May God grant you many years to live,
For sure He must be knowing:
The earth has angels all to few
And heaven is overflowing.
