Lyrics
Daybreak and we're greeted
By an impish old chap
He tells us there's a bar here
Puts Dublin on the map
Tiptoe to the basement
There's Irish craic galore
A certain kind of magic
Behind the cellar door
Prowling down the alleys
The night is so sweet
The city's got rhythm
I can feel it in my feet
Pass upon the cellar
Where the Guinness goes quite cheap
The door is ajar
The city asleep
Let the midnight glow enfold you
Let it take your arms and hold you
And lay your sleepy head against the sky
Here's a man who sings so gently
Behind our pints we gaze intently
Enchanted by a Dublin serenade
Cynical and tipsy
Our expectations low
But the warmth is so inviting
And we've nowhere else to go
I hear a voice a-callin'
Like a siren from the bay
Charming and bewitching me
By a melody he plays
Everybody's silent
They listen to the man
Delicately plucking
And I'm instantly a fan
a sentimental that feel so close
reminiscent of the records
I've loved so tenderly
Let the midnight glow enfold you
Let it take your arms and hold you
And lay your sleepy head against the sky
Here's a man who sings so gently
Behind our pints we gaze intently
Enchanted by a Dublin serenade
As darkness her shadow
The gentleman casts his spell
Candles flicker but you
You're out like a light
So tonight I think that you should
Let the midnight glow enfold you
Let it take your arms and hold you
And lay your sleepy head against the sky
Here's a man who sings so gently
Behind our pints we gaze intently
Enchanted by a Dublin serenade
