11 The Girl I Used To Be

[00:11.14] Once upon a time

[00:16.14] A Dublin girl ran free

[00:21.15] Down the cobblestones

[00:24.14] Round pubs and homes

[00:26.64] As rich as she could be

[00:31.64] Swimming in the Irish Sea

[00:37.65] Climbing up Bray Head

[00:42.90] Her lips were warmed

[00:45.40] With pots of tea

[00:48.14] Chips and buttered bread

[00:53.39] Fed love from Mam and Da

[00:58.89] They raised her up

[01:01.39] They made her fly

[01:04.14] They gave her roots and wings

[01:10.15] As time moves on and years go by

[01:12.65] She'll miss those simple things

[01:19.90] She's the girl I used to be

[01:28.15] The playgrounds all came down

[01:33.14] And we mourned our factories

[01:38.89] Times were tough, but I had enough

[01:44.15] I had my family

[01:49.40] Life kicked in with all its might

[01:54.65] But my strong heart wouldn't break

[01:59.89] I got kicked around and broken down

[02:05.14] I took all that I could take

[02:10.90] But you raise me up

[02:13.40] You made me fly

[02:16.15] You gave me roots and wings

[02:21.40] As time moves on and years go by

[02:26.64] I miss those simple things

[02:31.89] And the girl I used to be

[03:03.64] Now I'm grown with a child of my own

[03:08.89] And I hope to God on high

[03:14.65] That these are the days she thinks upon

[03:20.14] As the best days of her life

[03:25.40] And I'll raise her up

[03:27.90] I'll make her fly

[03:30.65] I'll give her roots and wings

[03:36.15] As time moves on and years go by

[03:41.40] She'll miss those simple things

[03:46.65] And the girl she used to be

[03:51.90] She's the girl I used to be
