Biography:
Danny Doyle (28 April 1940 – 6 August 2019) was an Irish folk singer.
After leaving school at the age of fourteen, Doyle started doing odd jobs, including working as general factotum in Dublin's Pike Theatre, where he began to pick up, from the travelling players, songs from the Irish countryside.
During the 1960s and 1970s, he was one of the top Irish singers, regularly featuring in the Irish charts and scoring three No.1 singles (notably displacing ABBA's "Take a Chance on Me" after just one week at the top).

[Intro]
F Bb Gm F
[Verse]
F Bb F
If you could wait a moment longer,
Bb Gm F
The sun would rise before the morn.
Bb F
The shadows from the skies would vanish,
Bb Gm F
And the day be twice as long.
[Chorus]
Bb Gm F
Every minute be an hour,
Bb Gm F
Every hour a loving kiss,
Gm C
Every kiss a fresh spring flower,
F
Sparkling in the morning mist.
Bb F
If you were here again beside me,
Bb Gm F
The running waters I would hold.
Bb F
And turn their flow to you, my lover,
Bb Gm F
To wash your feet, your hair of gold.
[Chorus]
Bb Gm F
Every drop a silver crystal,
Bb Gm F
Every crystal all aglow,
Gm C
Every glow a breath of beauty,
F
From your skin like dimpled snow.
Bb F
But since you've gone, the light has faded,
Bb Gm F
Birds are silent in the wood.
Bb F
The grass still trampled in a hollow,
Bb Gm F
Marks the spot on which you stood.
[Chorus]
Bb Gm F
Every tree a sad reminder,
Bb F
Every branch a memory bare,
Gm C
Every memory tinged with sorrow
Gm C F
That you are gone and I still care.
