Highland Girl

Nathan Evans

So we danced all night till the Sun came up
One for the road and another for luck
I didn't know I fell in love
In love with my highland girl
Hair like fire and eyes like the sea
She danced like the wind, she sings like the breeze
I didn't know but now I can see
I'm in love with my highland girl

La di-di-di-di-di, la di da
La di-di-di-di-di, la di da
La di-di-di-di-di, la di da
I'm in love with my highland girl
La di-di-di-di-di, la di da
La di-di-di-di-di, la di da
La di-di-di-di-di, la di da
I'm in love with my highland girl

I walked to the bar and looked to my left
I tried to breathe but you tole my breath
You turned away and played hard to get
But darling the night is young
The band started playing my favorite song
And that's when I caught you singing along
Right then I knew that you were the one
But darling, the night is young

So we danced all night till the Sun came up
One for the road, and another for luck
I didn't know I fell in love
In love with my highland girl
Hair like fire and eyes like the sea
She danced like the wind, she sings like the breeze
I didn't know but now I can see
I'm in love with my highland girl

Oh, her eyes shile like diamonds in the night
And the fairy glen upon the Isle of Skye
There's a whisper in the mountain, there's an echo in the glen
And I hope to God I'll see her once again
