RECESSIONAL;

It is difficult to recommend songs at this part of the service. Be free to choose something that is particularly appropriate and in special memory of your friend.

Here are songs I have played in the past just to give you an idea:

The following is a song I wrote for my Aunty when she passed on:

Beautiful Lady

Beautiful Lady, beautiful you,
You don’t look a day of your eighty-two.
Beautiful Lady, beautiful you,
Will you look after me when I get there too?

Tabhair dom do lámh
Beir greim ar mo lámh
‘S bi liomsa le ceangaill na láimh
(Give me your hand, take a hold of my hand and be with me with the tying of hands)

Beautiful Lady, beautiful you,
You had time for this tinkerbell out of the blue.
Beautiful Lady, beautiful you,
It's time to go home now, just travelling through.

Tabhair dom do lámh
Beir greim ar mo lámh
‘S bi liomsa le ceangaill na láimh

Go to sleep entwined in his arms
For he will protect you and all of your charms.
Take good care, someday we’ll meet you there
To share the paradise home in the sky.

Beautiful Lady, beautiful you,
It's time to go home now, just travelling through.

Tabhair dom do lámh
Beir greim ar mo lámh
‘S bi liomsa le ceangaill na láimh
