"Aileen" lyrics

The three of us walked on down
In the sun that shone on a winter's day
Down the hill and around the bend
Past the houses of my childhood friends

And I won't let you go
So here's to you
Aileen Kane

And I'll never say goodbye
Before you die
But I carry you every day
And I'll never say goodbye
Before you die
And I won't let you fade away

Nothing's felt quite right since then
But now one of us has given up or given in
And we took a big jet plane across the world
To Ireland, your resting place

And I won't let you go
So here's to you
Aileen Kane

And I'll never say goodbye
Before you die
But I carry you every day
And I'll never say goodbye
Before you die
And I won't let you fade away

You mean more to me than anyone
Anyone, I'm talking 'bout you
You mean more to me than anyone

And I'll never say goodbye
Before you die
But I carry you every day
And I'll never say goodbye
Before you die
And I won't let you fade away

And I won't let you fade away
