[Chorus]
So we danced all night 'till the sun came up
One for the road and another for luck
I didn't know that I fell in love
In love with my Highland girl
Hair like fire and eyes like the sea
She danced with the wind and sings like the breeze
I didn't know but now I can see
I'm in love with my Highland girl
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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 whеn I caught you singing along
Right then I knew that you werе the one
But darling, the night is young
[Chorus]
So we danced all night 'till the sun came up
One for the road, and another for luck
I didn't know that I fell in love
In love with my Highland girl
Hair like fire and eyes like the sea
She danced with the wind and sings like the breeze
I didn't know but now I can see
I'm in love with my Highland girl
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
You reached out your hand and took 'hold of mine
Didn't notice that you've been keeping it tight
You said "Follow me, everything will be fine
Because, darling, the night is young."
[Chorus]
So we danced all night 'till the sun came up
One for the road, and another for luck
I didn't know that I fell in love
In love with my Highland girl
Hair like fire and eyes like the sea
She danced with the wind and sings like the breeze
I didn't know but now I can see
I'm in love with my Highland girl
[Bridge]
Oh, her eyes shine 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
[Chorus]
So we danced all night 'till the sun came up (Sun came up)
One for the road, and another for luck (Another for luck)
I didn't know that I fell in love (Fell in love)
In love with my Highland girl (With my Highland girl)
Hair like fire and eyes like the sea (Eyes)
She danced with the wind and sings like the breeze (Sings like the breeze)
I didn't know but now I can see
I'm in love with my Highland girl
[Post-Chorus]
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
