May God Grant you many years to live,
For sure He must be knowing
The earth has angels all too few
and heaven is overflowing
May you be in heaven half an hour
before the devil knows you're dead
AN OLD IRISH WEDDING BLESSING
May God be with you and bless you
May you see your children's children
May you be poor in misfortune,rich in blessings
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward
May those that love us, love us.
And those that don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May He turn their ankles
So we will know them by their limping
May you live all the days of your life
and may the saddest day of your
future be no worse than the happiest
day of your past!
I could have wealth beyond my dreams
But where is the joy in that?
And I could travel the seven seas,
But I would always come back.
Everyone could know my name,
And there would be no peace.
I could have undying love,
And heartaches still increase.
No, if I were wealthy beyond my dreams
(And where is the joy in that?)
It wouldn't buy friendship such as yours
And there is the joy in that!
May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow, And may trouble avoid you wherever you go!
Here's to a long life and a merry one;
A quick death and an easy one;
A pretty girl and an honest one;
A cold beer ~ and another one!
Here's to you and here's to me
I pray that friends we'll always be,
But if by chance we disagree,
The hell with you and here's to me!
'Tis glad I am and glad I'll be
That you like knowin' the likes of me!
May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven
half an hour before the devil
knows you're dead!
