以下是《It's a Long Way to Tipperary》的歌詞:
It's a long way to Tipperary
A long way to go
But my heart's right back where it's at
When I'm walking along with you
It's a long way to Tipperary
But my dreams are there
And my thoughts of home
Are there with every prayer
It's a long way to Tipperary
But I'll make it there
With you beside me
And I'll take you back with me
When the day is done
I dream of a land
That I may call my own
Where the sky's as blue as the sea
It's a long way to Tipperary
But my dreams are there
And my thoughts of home
Are there with every prayer
The train is chugging along
Through the land of sunshine
When a dream seems so unreal
Yet it seems so hard to give up hope and then...
It's a long way to Tipperary
But my dreams are there
And my thoughts of home
Are there with every prayer
For my dear one, so dear to me, who understands the love that I feel.
When she stands by my side and speaks.
With every step we take together.
We keep moving toward that magical land, far, far away.
We know we'll meet again some day.
At Tipperary, that dreaming place.
I hold onto it as though it were true, like I hold her hand, as she lies there asleep.
My one desire, one golden day.
She awakens to our story in its essence and for the here and now, forever more.
A child with so much heart, so much soul.
She's my inspiration, my guiding star.
She's my reason for living, for surviving.
She's my everything.
So it's a long way to Tipperary, but it's not far at all.
For I will return, and I will be there.
To see her standing tall, beside the lake, at Tipperary.
Where we will forevermore, hold onto our dreams and our memories.
Forevermore.
It's a long way to Tipperary.
But it's not far at all.
It's close enough to feel her heartbeat in my soul.
The moment when our story ends and begins again at Tipperary.
