Girl from the emerald isle

Rose by any other name
Would still be as sweet
But we all loose the game
We all must accept defeat
But when troubles cloud my mind
And I feel like a lonesome fool
I go back and find
A picture upon my wall
You truly had a heart of gold
A ray of light shone through
And if truth be told
I still miss you
That girl from the emerald isle
Still makes me smile

Oh, I could tell the end was near
I was weak and I cried
You whispered you had no fear
I said nothing for foolish pride
I hope i never caused you pain
No worry nor shame
For when your stuck in endless rain
You can't ignite your flame
I still have your necklace in a drawer
You said it would make me stronger
But if hopes and dreams washed upon the shore
Wouldn't mean I didn't need it any longer
That girl from the emerald isle
Still makes me smile

So sadly i sing that old song
thinking can't bring back the past
Everything soon goes wrong
And good times don't last
And as memories begin to fade
New events will transpire
But with me you have stayed
You I will always admire
And the shadows move from the light
And I can finally see
But some wrongs can't be put right
Yet your spirit still runs free
That girl from the emerald isle
Still makes me smile

Everyone crowded around your room
Trying to hide their fears
We all saw the darkness loom
And could only express it in tears
You flickered in and out
And they all sang your song
And we were all without doubt
We all knew that we belonged
And sitting by your bed
Trying not to cry
A subtle kiss on your forehead
A final kiss goodbye
That girl from the emerald isle
Still makes me smile

Any feedback would be appreciated

Great rhymes,good flow.Is there a chorus?If you had broken up the stanzas a little different,I'd find it easier to get Song Lyric.Either way,good job,familiar story!
