The Brian McCombe Band ~ 'The Smile Of A Lady'
The Smile Of A Lady is yet another one of those songs that has reached out and captured my heart~ a song of unrequited love, love given and yet never received because of fear and past hurts.
How many can relate to the twist of cruel fate inflicted by the gods of bitter hurt and a heart that will not forgive?
"Love and illusion, their seeds are all scattered on barren ground. Yet love remains a treasure to discover beguiling yet unfound
You can search over mountains and valleys yet still remain a slave to the smile of a lady, a lady who would be your guide!
Love remains a stranger to all who would close the door
Just open your heart that has died so many times before
Just open your arms that lay so heavy by your side and smile upon this lady, this lady who would be your guide!
Love remains a vision, beyond the horizon of your dreams.
Yet she remains awaiting, awaiting patiently, it would seem just open your eyes that remain so blinded by the dark and smile upon this lady this lady who has made her mark
So love has come a’callin’ so now come take her by the hand. For she remains a flower, a flower that will grow in a ravaged land for you’ll be her rain and she will be your song
So smile upon this lady and you will remain as one"
The tune is actually a traditional Irish Gaelic song and was recorded by Altan.

The band also has a preview of an equally powerful song ‘The Maid Of Donegal’ that you can listen to on Reverbnation.
