PUB O’ THE OTHER SIDE (An Irish Farewell)
(Jerabek/Slyzelia/Jerabek)
We gather together
Remembering when
Our party was bigger
Now we're missing our friend
Since you can't be here to do your part
We'll drain our mugs and fill our hearts
With one more song for you...
The sun lifts up and lights the shore upon the Emerald Isle
The waves, they beat a mighty drum that echoes thru the sky
Beyond the green and faraway hills where loved ones do reside
You've gone that way and finally found
The pub o' the other side
Eyes so full of laughter and a spirit filled with song
Even in your absence your memory lives on
A heart so light and happy and a smile so big and bright
You'll be an easy one to spot at
The pub o' the other side
The other side...ay ay ay ay ay
The other side...ay ay ay ay ay
We'll not spend a single minute, wishing for what might have been
The time we had together was the best time ever spent
So fare thee well they've rung the bell, I'll see you by and by
We'll raise our glasses once again at
The pub o the other side
May the road rise up to meet you and the wind be at your back
The sun shine warm upon your face, your heart be ever glad
With angels singing sweetly and a Guinness in your pint
Oh, one fine day I'll join you there at
The pub o' the other side
The other side...ay ay ay ay ay
The other side...ay ay ay ay ay
The other side...ay ay ay ay ay
The other side...ay ay ay ay ay
