​Come my Lovely Daughter
 
Come my lovely young one
 Let me take you by the hand
Let me walk you through your heart
Let me help you understand
There will be streams to sit by
when the sun is shining bright
There will be dancing to enjoy
as day goes into night
And I will be there for you
 I will always be there for you
 I will be there for you
I will always be there
 
Come my lovely young one
Let me take you by the hand
Let me walk you through your soul
Let me help you understand
There will be dark nights and flight
There will be mountains to cross
There will be days when it appears 
that everything is lost
But I will be there for you
I will always be there for you
I will be there for you
I will always be there
 
Come my lovely daughter
How could you ever see?
From now until eternity
How much you mean to me
And I will be there
I will always be there for you
I will be there for you
I will always be there
 
Come my lovely young one
And take me by the hand
And walk me though my dreams
I no longer understand
Yet I can still remember
When the sun was shining bright
And I can still remember
Those dark nights and flight
And you will be there for me
You will always be there for me
You will be there for me
You will always be there
 
And I will be there for you
 I will always be there for you
 I will be there for you
I will always be there
We will always be there
We will always be there

Tony Shields

The Song is based on a poem written by Rathfarnham poet Tony Shields for his daughter Catherine on the occasion of her 30th Birthday

Catherine and her Da
 
Come my lovely young one
let me take you by your hand
let me walk you through your soul,
there will be dark night and flight
there will be mountains to cross,
and streams to sit by
when the sun doeth shine
 
Come my lovely young one and take me by the hand
and walked me through
the wilderness of my dreams
