Christmas Day Lyrics

Christmas Day lyrics

A young gentleman came riding past,
On a snow blue winters day,
He asked
to drink by our fire
And I was pleased to let him stay,

He drank
there quietly for a while,
And then he turned and said to me,

Your
eyes are green,
Like summer grass,
Your lips are red,
Like a fresh cut
rose,
Your hair is soft,
Like an Irish stream,
And your voice,
Is
filled with sweet beauty

And the last words I heard him say

Were
I shall return,
For you,
My love,
On Christmas Day

And the
night will come,
But I won't sleep,
As I watch the stars that lead
him,
I cannot place where he is,
But still my heart goes with him,
I'm
saving all my Sunday clothes
For the day that I'll be leaving,
Father
knows,
My sister knows,
And my friends,
They're happy for me,
And
the priest he says,
You should thank God,
For the blessing,
Of such
beauty

And the last words
I heard him say,

Were I shall
return,
For you,
My love,
On Christmas Day
I shall return,
For
you,
My love,
On Christmas Day

(On Christmas Day)

(I shall
return for you my love)

And the last words
I heard him say
Were
the last words
I ever
Heard him say

I shall return,
For
you,
My love
On Christmas Day
I swear,
I will return,
On
Christmas Day,
And yes,
I shall return,
On Christmas Day,
I shall
return,
For you,
On Christmas Day
My love,
I will return,
On
Christmas Day
I shall return,
My love
On Christmas Day

On
Christmas Day
