Lyrics
Dum Di Diddle
Written by Lorraine Jordan ©
“Dedicated to my father who never played his flute again following the loss of my parents first child, Patrick, at the age of 5.”
If I could give the finest gift that ever I could give
I would give the finest flute that ever yet was played
And the angels they would make it
Just to hear you play
Dum di diddle di dum diddle
Dum di diddle di dum diddle
Dum di diddle di dum diddly de
If I could wish the finest wish that ever I could wish
I would wish for you to play a tune to ease your pain
And the angels they would gather
Just to hear you play
Dum di diddle di dum diddle
Dum di diddle di dum diddle
Dum di diddle di dum diddly de
And your heart it would be glad
It would be free at last
For your tune would reach the moon
Would make the heavens dance
And among the angels you’d see
Your own little one
Singing dum di diddle di dum diddle
Dum di diddle di dum diddle
Dum di diddle di dum diddly de
Dum di diddle di dum diddle
Dum di diddle di dum diddly de
And his face so full of grace would ease your troubled soul
And his voice would sing sweet songs of mysteries untold
Dum di diddle di dum diddle
Dum di diddle di dum diddle
Dum di diddle di dum diddly de
Dum di diddle di dum diddle
Dum di diddle di dum diddle
Dum di diddle di dum diddly de
