LYRICS

  • SHORT VERSION

Rest with me
We’ll be warm and free to dream
Of all the things yet to come
For you my little one

Lay with me
Let us sing a sweet melody
Of all the things yet to come
For you my little one

Look up high and see
All the stars above you and me
They shine a light on all the things to come
For you my little one

  • FULL VERSION

Rest with me
We’ll be warm and free to dream
Of all the things yet to come
For you my little one

Look up high and see
All the stars above you and me
They shine a light on all the things to come
For you my little one

Stay with me
Forget the cold streets of Limerick city
Let’s drift away and sing our song
And dream on and on

Lay with me
Let us sing a sweet melody
Of all the things yet to come
For you my little one

Look up high and see
All the stars above you and me
They shine a light on all the things to come
For you my little one

Look up high and see
All the stars above you and me
They shine a light on all the things to come
For you my little one

NOTES

  • “Angela’s Song” was the last recording of Dolores released during her lifetime.
  • The song was recorded in November 2017 for the animated short film “Angela’s Christmas”.
  • The film was first broadcast on Irish TV RTÉ One (HD) on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 2017.
  • The main character, Angela, sings a few lines of the song in the film. Obviously this is Angela’s voice (Lucy O’Connell) singing these few lines, not Dolores’.
  • You can hear Dolores singing the song during the end credits.
  • RTÉ’s broadcast had a short version of the song.
  • On 30 November 2018 the animated short film was released on Netflix and the full song was released for the very first time as the end credits are scrolling slowly compared to RTÉ’s broadcast (or more likely, this is the normal speed and RTÉ had deliberately broadcast a speed up version).
  • The animated film was released on DVD and Digital Download in the U.S. on 19 November 2019.
