    My son, Danny, was born 6 weeks early. He and I stayed in the hospital four days. Upon release I walked out the front doors and to the nearest bench to wait for my ride. An elderly man sat beside us. He asked to see him and commented what’a wee little fella’. He had a bit of an Irish Accent. He asked his name and when I told him, he asked if he could gift him something, curious, I of course said yes; he sung this whole song too my enfant. I just knew he was Danny’s Guardian Angel !!! What a truly lovely moment and a Gift from God above! I knew that he would be fine and grow up strong! And he has. Thanks 🙏 for listening to my old tale. Blessings to all of you. Amen 🙏

    Seventeen years ago I left the hospital where my wife had just passed and the local radio station was playing "Danny Boy"! That was heart touching and yet a blessing.
    Ten years ago a DNA test showed I am 98.1% Irish. I am 86 years old now and am planning a trip to the Emerald Isle with my son & grand-son this summer.

      Mr. True, I am very sorry for your loss and am happy you have found comfort in this song. I look my own DNA test a few years back, which showed that I am one-third Irish/Celtic. Ever since, I have dove into Irish songs, sports, and the culture itself. I hope to travel to Ireland in the near future, and I hope you have a great trip!

    Danny Boy - Choral Scholars of University College Dublin & Desmond Earley - from our second album, 'Perpetual Twilight' - available to buy and stream on all major music platforms. hyperurl.co/PerpetualTwilight
    Lyrics:
    Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
    From glen to glen, and down the mountain side,
    The summer’s gone and all the roses falling,
    It’s you, it’s you must go and I must bide.
    But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow,
    Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow,
    It’s I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
    Oh, Danny Boy, oh Danny boy I love you so!
    But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,
    If I am dead, as dead I may well be
    Ye’ll come and find the place where I am lying,
    And kneel and say an Ave there for me;
    And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
    And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
    For you will bend and tell me that you love me,
    And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!
