You Seldom Come See Me Any More.

Lyrics and Vocals: Irish singer, songwriter and entertainer of the country and Irish genre Johnny McEvoy.

The song hereunder “You Seldom Come to See Me Anymore” sees Johnny McEvoy at his best: warm, gentle, and heartbreakingly direct, where a few simple lines say what a whole argument never could. It was even one of the nearest he came to breaking the UK charts, helped along by strong record sales in the North of Ireland. So if you know it, sing it, and if you don’t, you’ll certainly feel it.

You Seldom Come See Me Any More.

You Seldom Come See Me Any More.

What’s your hurry, can’t you stay and pass an hour away?
And we’ll sit and dream awhile by candlelight.
For when the long day’s over, that’s the time I fear the most,
When I hear your footsteps fade into the night.
You’re restless, tell me why there’s a teardrop in your eye,
And I’ve seen it there a hundred times before.
And I know you’re going to leave me and it always breaks my heart,
For you seldom come to see me any more.
I well recall that day when my ship it sailed away,
To a far off distant land across the sea,
Where a cruel war was raging, where time was standing still,
And blind hatred was the order of the day.
You’re restless, tell me why there’s a teardrop in your eye,
And I’ve seen it there a hundred times before,
And I know you’re going to leave me and it always breaks my heart,
For you seldom come to see me any more.
Now I know it can’t be fair for a soldier’s wife to hear,
How he helped to keep his country proud and free,
And no bronze nor fancy ribbons can ever heal the pain,
When he comes back half the man he used to be.
You’re restless, tell me why there’s a teardrop in your eye,
And I’ve seen it there a hundred times before,
And I know you’re going to leave me and it always breaks my heart,
For you seldom come to see me any more.
You seldom come to see me any more.
