Oh, Bless this city

Bless the Granite and the water
Bless the talking and the laughter
Bless the music and the dancing
Bless the couples and their romancing
Bless the fires, the smoke and the peat
Bless every pair of these walking feet

Bless all the pubs and all the Cafés
Bless the statues and the park ways
Bless every shop, corner and street
Bless every dish, except if it's meat
Bless the drinking, the jokes and the craic
Bless every house, be it blue, red or black

Bless this city on every day
Be it rainy and cloudy and grey
Bless this city on every minute so dear
Bless it every second of every year
Bless it when flooded with sunshine
Bless this city even though it's not mine

Bless my beloved, who will be standing there
The salty wind blowing back his hair
His smile kind and his eyes blue
Bless his courage and he will continue
Bless his voice, let him push through
And let all his dreams come true

Bless this city not once but twice
Bless it's sunsets and sunrise
Bless the ships that are leaving it
Bless the artists and bless what they did
Bless the market, that's on on the weekends
Bless the memories I made there with my friends

Oh, I'm asking you with all my heart
Of this city, please bless every part
