Don't Stop Me Now lyrics by The Wolfe Tones
The guitar chords are now included. The singer in the youtube video is Tommy Byrne. Taken from the album ''Let The People Sing''[Song Lyrics ] 1972 and in my opinion their best album ever, I have been listening to this song for nearly 40 years and it's as fresh today in my head as it was all them years ago. It's an intriguing little song that makes the mind wander to other places. You don't really know what the song is all about until the last few lines when you realize it's all a dream,,,,,,,or is it ?
Now darkness fills the sky
Where once the summer sun did shine Where lighter shades of blue were true And the heavens they were mine Now they are gone and now I seem to realize That a storm has entered o'er my paradise And it stopped the golden sunlight coming through my door And the daybreak never comes just like it did before Just like it did before Through the sleepy hours at night This shady figure fills my door And casts its magic spell to swell The memories of my mind Don't stop me now, I'm the man that on the moon did walk Don't stop me now, I'm the Jack that climbed the beanstalk And it stopped the golden sunlight coming through my door And the daybreak never comes just like it did before Just like it did before I spoke to it sometimes And then it would speak back to me Perhaps now that its me, You see l'm dreamin' I am me Don't stop me now, I m a winner in the Olympic Games Don't stop me now, I'm the circus man that jumps through flames And it stopped the golden sunlight coming through my door And the daybreak never comes just like it did before Just like it did before The hidden drums of silence Seemed to captivate my busy mind And spoke to me somehow to show What world was really mine Then I awake and find my old familiar things upon the shelf My watch and tie and signet ring |
The Wolfe Tones Play this song in the key of Eb. That key isn't suitable to most ballad singers so I took it down a notch.
