I NEED YOU
I sat at home tonight
Hoping that you might
Call me on the phone
The hours they were long
But I still hung on
Please don’t leave me alone
It is really lonely
To be on your own
And having no one at all
I’ll find something to do
To prevent me from being blue
I’m waiting for your call
But still there is no word
No not a dickie bird
My world it falls apart
Don’t you even want
Just to be my friend
Instead of breaking my heart

DREAMING OF A LOST LOVE
Here I sit alone
Trying not to doss
Dreaming of a lost love
Wishing it was never lost
What can I do
To get back to you
Instead of dreaming
My life away
Days pass along
My love is still strong
The times with you
I will always cherish
Am I a fool
Do you play it cool
You’ve broken my heart
When we went apart
I know life, it goes on
Yet, I can’t move on
Dreaming of a lost love
And wishing it was never lost

WE SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST
The night began
We talked awhile
Then we parted to
Dance with our friends
You danced with the ladies
I danced with the guys
Then you came back
And asked me to dance
We danced the night
In each others arms
It felt so right
Cos we saved the best for last
You held me tight
I smiled at you
You seemed so happy
I felt the same way
Dancing together
In a world of our own
It felt so right
Cos we saved the best for last
We danced the night
In each others arms
It felt so right
Cos we saved the best for last

WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME
Why did you leave me,
Leave me alone
Where did you go
When I was on my own
Was there another
Is she there still
Why did you leave me
Leave me alone
I want you always
Want you for my own
I want you everyday
Don’t leave me all alone
My skies turned to grey
When you left today
Don’t let me be blue
Say you’ll be true
Why did you leave me
Why did you go
I love you so
Please don’t go
Now that you’re back
Stay with me
I want you always
To be with me
Helen Kiely-O’Regan©
DON’T LEAVE ME
Baby, I can’t live my life without you
So what can I do to make you true
You broke my heart, tore my life apart
When you went out and found a love so new
What has she got, that I ain’t got
Her face, her style, that ain’t so hot
She can’t love you more, that I know
So find her and tell her where to go
All alone today, I walked down Broadway
But no sign of you around
Rockefeller center, Times Square, China Town
Looks like you’ve left town
Upper East side, Spanish Harlem
I smell the Caribbean coconut
Hermanos, hermanas, amigos tell me
You’ve not come back home yet
I go off alone and feel so blue
My heart, it cries out over you
I think of her and I want to die
If you love her more, I wonder why
Baby, I love you so much, so please be mine
It you love me too, give me a sign
My body, my life is yours always
I will love you all til the end of my days

MOTHER EIREANN
Dear old Ireland, why do you cry
Are too many folks saying goodbye
We’re sorry we had to leave you
All over the world the Irish do fly
It pains your heart to see us go
Your youth are fading fast
But someday soon, we’ll all return
This emigration just can’t last
We plead to the government of Ireland
To help make Eireann a safe home
It’s sad and pitiful to see
Our fatherland all alone
But I feel that no matter where we travel
Or wherever we may roam
Our hearts will always be proud
That dear old Eireann is still our home
Helen Kiely-O’Regan©
THINK OF ME
Do you know that I love you so
Do I know how I want to spend my life
I want to be your wife
So if you go away
Even if just for a day
Wherever you may be
Please, please think of me
Today, you passed me by
And that made me cry
Oh please, don’t break my heart
Don’t let us stay apart
I love you more than anything
Thinking of you makes my heart sing
So wherever you may be
Please, please think of me
You are so very special to me
And in my heart that’s what you’ll always be
I want to be with you
And I will love you true
So if you go away
Even if just for a day
Wherever you may be
Please, please think of me
You may think that I’m too young
And that a love with me wouldn’t be fun
But I know
That I really love you so
Don’t shun me out
Let me always be about
So wherever you may be
Please, please think of me

BUNDORAN IN THE COUNTY DONEGAL
Take a trip up north to the land of Tir Conaill
On passing the county border line you’ll see
Flashing neon lights and various sights
That’s beautiful Bundoran in the County Donegal
It’s a seaside resort
That I’ll always remember
Where I spent my childhood
Along by it’s shores
Go for a walk on the beach
Or a swim in the sea
There is lots to do
Wherever you go
Night life is good
With the sound of big bands
It’s all to be found
In the town of Bundoran
