about

Words and music by Amy Denio.
I saw a gravestone in Ireland, at the bottom was writ 'there are so many songs to sing' and I had very strong visions. For the next two weeks I'd burst into tears when I remembered that phrase on the grave. Wrote this song to stop the crying jag.

lyrics

At the Ballintubber Abbey
I stood before a grave
‘Twas a man who died at 50 years young
And the music his soul did save

His name was Mick Cuffe, adored by friends
‘Twas writ upon the stone
May you rest in peace; we love you dear –
There are so many songs to sing

CHORUS
And all the bells did ring
With the beauty you did bring
May you rest in peace, we love you dear
There are so many songs to sing

I can see you now with friends all round
And you’re singing that lovely song
‘Tis the music that illuminates the soul
When the body’s long gone

Now that you are gone, we’ll raise a toast
To the friendship that you rang
Fare thee well, your voice has touched us dear
With the many songs you sang

CHORUS
