Bl ess you with lo ve for the ro ad that you g o
M ay you sail fa ir to the f ar fields of for tune
With di amonds and pe arls at your he ad and your fe et
And m ay you need ne ver to ba nish misfo rtune

May there al ways be an gels to wa tch over y ou
To gu ide you each st ep of the w ay
To gu ard you and ke ep you sa fe from all ha rm

M ay you bring love and m ay you bring ha ppiness
Be lo ved in ret urn to the e nd of your da ys
Now fa ll off to sle ep; I'm not me aning to ke ep you
I'll just s it for a wh ile and sing l oo-li-lai-l ey
