Laughter and smiles
Dressed green for the day
All full of craic
The Irish way

Aftershave and make-up
Added with pride
The taxis are ordered
Let's try get inside

Be careful, Be safe
Each parent did say,
Wishing their loved ones
A happy fun day

Th night's still young
So parents settle their heads
It'll be a while yet
Before their back in their beds

We didn't suspect
Couldn't guess such a thing
Full of good cheer
When the phones start to ring

Come lift me mum
I'm ok dad
But someone got hurt
I think really bad

Most got home safe
Not all got home sound
Most parents relieved
It wasn't theirs on the ground

The ambulances raced
Friends and family hold their breath
When the horror comes through
There's been three deaths

Three young loved lives
So cruelly torn away
Three Angels entered heaven
The got in on St Patrick's Day
