Lucy,
As your mom and I get more serious about planning our time in Ireland this summer, we have been listening to Pandora's The Irish Tenors Radio and other similar channels. There are several songs that we love to hear over and over, such as Amazing Grace, which always makes me think of Papa (Pop's father) and how one of your mom's cousins sang at the memorial service.
One of our other favorites is called The Voyage. I have posted a YouTube version of that song above and the words below.
Love you,
Dad
"The Voyage"
I am a sailor, you're my first mate
We signed on together, we coupled our fate
We hauled up our anchor, determined not to fail
For the hearts treasure, together we set sail
With no maps to guide us we steered our own course
We rode out the storms when the winds were gale force
We sat out the doldrums in patience, and hope
Working together, we learned how to cope
Life is an ocean, love is a boat
In troubled waters, it keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
Now gathered round us, we have our own crew
Together we're in this relationship
We built it with care, to last the whole trip
Our true destination's not marked on any charts
We're navigating for the shores of the heart
Life is an ocean and love is a boat
In troubled waters, it keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
Now gathered round us, we have our own crew
