Lyrics

Orangefield

[Verse 1]

On a golden autumn day

You came my way in Orangefield

Saw you standing by the riverside in Orangefield

[Refrain]

How I loved you then in Orangefield

Like I love you now in Orangefield

[Verse 2]

And the sun shone on your hair

When I saw you there in Orangefield

Saw you standing by the riverside in Orangefield

[Refrain]

How I loved you then in Orangefield

Like I love you now in Orangefield

[Bridge]

And the sun shone so bright

And it lit up all our days

You were the apple of my eye

Baby it's true

[Verse 3]

On a golden autumn day

All my dreams came true in Orangefield

On a throne of Ulster day

You came my way in Orangefield

[Refrain]

How I loved you then in Orangefield

Like I love you now in Orangefield

[Bridge]

And the sun shone so bright

And it lit up all our lives

And the apple of my eye

Baby was you

[Verse 4]

On a throne of Ulster day

You came my way in Orangefield

Saw you standing by the riverside in Orangefield

[Refrain]

How I loved you then in Orangefield

Like I love you now in Orangefield

How I loved you then in Orangefield

Like I love you now in Orangefield
