If you could wait a moment longer

My mother and I singing one of the beautiful songs from the "Whiskey on a sunday" CD from Danny Doyle. He has one of the best voices in the world. (Mary Black too). This is our favorit song.
Sometimes we forgotten the words. Excuse please. Here they are:

If you could wait a moment longer,
The sun would rise before the morn.
The shadows from the sky would vanish,
And the day be twice as long.
Ev’ry minute would be an hour,
Ev’ry hour a loving kiss,
Ev’ry kiss a fresh springflower,
Sparkling in the morning mist.

If you were here again beside me,
The running waters I would hold.
And turn their flow to you my lover,
To wash your feet, your hair of gold.
Ev’ry drop a silver crystal,
Ev’ry crystal all aglow,
Ev’ry glow a breath of beauty,
From your skin like dimple snow.

But since you’ve gone the light has faded,
Birds are silent in the wood.
The grass still trampled in a hollow,
Marks the spots on wich you stood.
Ev’ry tree a sad reminder,
Ev’ry branch a memory bad,
Ev’ry memory tinged with sorrow
That you are gone and I still care.
