I once met a young girl filled with fire,    That saw through my front to this shell of a man   She knew I'd be a handful from the start,    This strong willed woman had an angels heart   The holes in these wings don't allow me to fly   So you'd better brace for a life of pain,    And if fate is the path to this better life   Somehow I feel you'll never see the faces change      Chorus:   Through thick and thin, She stood by you   She held the key to my broken heart      I look back and wonder, Sit and ponder.    How I could have ever neglected you.   For the blood soaked soil on the old ball field,    I gambled on a hand I wasn't ready to lose   But if the tables were turned and I faced the troubles,    Tough times and struggles I put you through   I'd of been there as you were through hardship and horror   My life and my love are pledged to you.      Chorus:      Remember the nights she waited and wondered,    fused to a myth that it had taken it's toll.   But this Godless man has mended his way,    Never again will she be alone.      I remember it well, Still I always knew that she was destined to be my bride   This woman had pride, She was full of life.    I could see the passion in her eyes.   She thought she found a man, But she fell for the devil   An evil monster in disguise. Now I'll honor and obey, Forever stay.   True to you, my Irish rose      Chorus:
