“Stephen’s Green” was written by Pauly Fagan about how day-to-day life can change when you least expect it. The Christmas bells at the beginning of the song take you to that time of year when most people are happy and look forward to a new year. A love song at heart, the rich melody takes the listener from the lonely feeling a lot of people have at Christmastime to an uplifting moment when you aren’t expecting to fall in love.
Lyrics
Stephen’s Green
Didn`t think that I could,
Didn`t think that I would, fall like this....
Strolling through my life,
Thinking if I’m right,
Each day becomes the same,
And I try to change my lanes,
Try to change my ways,
The least expecting time I was sipping on my wine,
Wondering if I`ll still be,
Here this time I feel it every year,
And I say I’m doing fine,
Say that I’m doing just fine,
The least expecting time,
I was sipping on my wine.....
Well I thought that I was dreaming,
When she smiled and said good evening,
I was thinking is it me she`s teasing
But we sat and talked all evening,
I tried to understand it,
How this beautiful girl had landed,
in front of me oh I`d never seen anybody quite like her......
We walked through Stephen`s Green,
And it must have been after three,
She put out her hand and asked me to dance,
And laughed as I said would you give me a chance,
I thought that I was dreaming,
She smiled and said I’m never leaving,
Didn’t think that I could, didn’t think that I would.
