St. Luke's

A silence it has fallen
Between you and I
There's a lump in my throat
Tells me I might cry
A nurse comes on the ward
And makes her way along
Something it must give
I know I'm not that strong
And yes I think she's beautiful
And you can read my mind I know
And that's when you start to smile
A contagious hospital smile
And when the nurse comes by
There's a look in your eye
And yes you think she's beautiful
I think I've read your mind but no

Chorus
I am stunned I'm so shocked
I don't know where to look
When you say to her
Have you got a boy?
My son here is looking for a girl
Looking for a girl
And could you be that girl?

The wind is in the trees
The windows are so clean
The sun multiplies the leaves
And they can all be seen
The nurse her name is Aoife
You ask her where she's from
And she tells us about her family
And the farm she grew up on
And yes I think she's beautiful
And you can read my mind I know
And that's when you start to smile
Your contagious hospital smile
And by now I should know by
The impish look in your eye
And yes you think she's beautiful
I think I've read your mind but no

And if you made a list
Of everything you'll miss
For the rest of my life
I'd keep it by my side
And if ever I was feeling down
I'd just have to take it out
And look at that list of things
And do one of those things
Or touch one of those things
Or listen to one of those things
Or taste one of those things
Or hold one of those things
Or look at one of those things
Or laugh at one of those things
Or talk about those things
To people who are close
Whose hearts are all we know
