MY STREETS OF SCOTLAND
(Words and Music by Terry Moore)
If you only, knew how much I love you
That’s why these words, come in such an easy way
Tho’ I’m miles away, I’ll always think about you
My streets of Scotland, I will walk with you someday.
Just to feel the magic, of your raindrops
Or touch the snow, falling on a winters’ day
All the bustle, of a Scottish city
My streets of Scotland, they are calling me to stay.
In the quiet of the night, I hear you whisper
With the lilt, of a Scottish voice so clear
There’s my Mother, and my Father standing smiling
Please excuse me, while I brush away my tears.
Oh! These feeling of my homeland, overwhelm me
Tho’ I have left you, it was never by design
Please forgive me, and please, don’t forget me
My streets of Scotland, you’re forever on my mind.
Tho’ the ocean and the sky, may lie between us
And these little hands, need me more than you
In the years to come, they will know from where, they came from
They will grow to love you, just the way I do.
Yes one day I’ll trace the footsteps, of my childhood
And see old friends, as I pass along the way
For these little feet, that keep me here in exile
My streets of Scotland, we will walk with you someday.
Yes these little feet, that keep me here in exile
My streets of Scotland, we will walk with you someday.
