Although You're Gone
(pop) - 4:08 |
ALTHOUGH YOU'RE GONE - (key A major)
Words & music by Louis Gogan 1998

A G A G
We used to chat and pass the time of day,
A G A G
I'd pass your house and look for you
A G A G
Sit on the wall and talk of friends and things,
A G A G E G A
It was a pleasant thing to do.
A G A G
But then I noticed that you weren't around,
A G A G A
I didn't know just what to think
A G A G
They said you wouldn't be returning home,
A G A G
It made my spirit sadly sink.
Chorus:
E G D
Although you're gone I will remember you
E G D E
Your smilings face, your friendly wave.
E A G A G A
Although you're gone.
A G A G
And I just hope you've made a change in me,
A G A G A
To see that life can be so good
A G A G
I'll pass it on just like a daisy chain,
A G A G
I get the feeling that I should.
Chorus:
E G D
Although you're gone I will remember you,
E G D
Your smilings face, your friendly wave.
E G D
Those happy times are in my memories,
E G D
But things can never be the same, again
D E
And it's a shame.
E A G A G
Although you're gone.
Chorus:
E G D
Although you're gone I will remember you
E G D E
Your smilings face, your friendly wave.
E A G A G A
Although you're gone.
E A G A G A G A G
Although you're gone. Although you're gone etc..

Song Information
I first met Catherine McNulty when I moved to Saula, Achill in 1994. I ended up living in the house next door to this lovely woman - this lovely neighbour. She was a kindly neighbour. All her children had moved out and were making lives for themselves, and her husnband had died years ago. She had lived a hard life yet she remained both cheerful and friendly.
Everytime when I used to walk by her house on the way to cut turf on the bog I used to stop and we would have a chat about this and that. When passing in my car I'd always look out and see her with her smile and wave.
Then sadly, over a very short period around christmas 1997, she took ill and went into hospital and within a few weeks she was dead and would never return to her home. I had lost a good friendly neighbour.
I just had to write a song about her. But this isn't a sad song but, rather, a song to celebrate her smile and her cheerfulness. Although she's gone I still remember her and have fond memories of her.
It is very strange to realise that she never heard this song written about her. Such is life!
