The young gentleman came riding past on a snow-blue winter's day |
| [00:11.90] |
He asked to drink by our fire and I was pleased to let him stay |
| [00:17.83] |
He drank there quietly for a while and then he turned and said to me |
| [00:23.14] |
Your eyes are green like summer grass |
| [00:29.04] |
Your lips are red like a fresh-cut rose |
| [00:34.86] |
Your hair is soft like an Irish stream |
| [00:41.02] |
And your voice is filled with sweet beauty |
| [00:47.13] |
And the last words I heard him say were |
| [00:52.78] |
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day |
| [01:01.95] |
And the night will come but I won't sleep as I watch the stars that lead him |
| [01:08.25] |
I cannot place where he is but still my heart goes with him |
| [01:14.26] |
I'm saving all my Sunday clothes for the day that I'll be leaving |
| [01:19.78] |
Father knows, my sister knows |
| [01:25.64] |
And my friends they're happy for me |
| [01:31.32] |
And the priest he says 'You should thank God for the blessing of such beauty' |
| [01:43.56] |
And the last words I heard him say were |
| [01:48.98] |
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day |
| [01:57.97] |
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day |
| [02:15.66] |
On Christmas Day |
| [02:27.60] |
I shall return for you |
| [02:31.42] |
My love |
| [02:48.90] |
And the last words I heard him say |
| [02:54.23] |
Were the last words I ever heard him say |
| [03:02.80] |
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day |
| [03:09.89] |
I said I will return on Christmas Day |
| [03:15.24] |
And yes I shall return on Christmas day |
| [03:21.11] |
I shall return for you on Christmas Day, my love |
| [03:28.30] |
I will return on Christmas Day |
| [03:33.11] |
I shall return, my love, on Christmas Day |
| [03:44.00] |
On Christmas Day |
