Irish Cousin Lyrics - Kirsty Maccoll

I'd like to say that 

You gave me the best days of your life 

So have one on me 

I've been away 

But I think of you much more these days 

Thanks for the memories 

Here comes the moon again 

It makes me think of when I last saw 

My Irish cousin 

He looked so happy then 

I can't believe that he's gone at all 

My Irish cousin 

He said "Surprise" 

And I could not believe my eyes 

When I saw love 

Yes, I saw love 

Hey, it's good to hear your voice 

Even if I'm number 32 

In your little black book of things to do 

Hey, would you like to go out today? 

Maybe see a show, I don't know about you 

So little time, so many things to do 

I used to have these conversations all of the time 

With my Irish cousin 

Well, here comes the moon again 

I can't believe that's when I last saw 

My Irish cousin 

We had a row in every bar in Dublin 

But we loved it 'cause we were equal 

Two very lonely people 

Oh, is it too late to tell him that I miss him? 

I can't remember kissing him goodbye 

My Irish cousin 

I let him down so many times 

But he never kicked me out 

He let me cry, he'd let me shout 

He said "That's what it's all about" 

Here comes the moon again 

It makes me think of when I last saw 

My Irish cousin 

He made me laugh beyond the call of duty 

And I loved him 

I'm so glad I told him 

But maybe that's what did him in 

I wouldn't put it past him 

My Irish cousin 

He said "Surprise" 

And I could not believe my eyes 

When I saw love 

Yes, I saw love 

In my Irish cousin
