DIDO - On Christmas Day lyrics
rate meA young gentleman came riding past<br>On a snow blue winter's day<br>He asked to drink, by our fire,<br>And I was pleased to let him stay<br>He drank there quietly for a while,<br>Then he turned and said to me<br>Your eyes are green, like summer grass,<br>Your lips are red like a fresh cut rose,<br>Your hair is soft like an irish stream<br>And your voice is filled with sweet beauty<br>And the last words I heard him say<br>Were I shall return, for you, my love, on christmas day<br>The night will come but I won't sleep,<br>As I watch the stars that lead him,<br>I cannot place where his is,<br>But still my heart goes with him,<br>I'm savin all my sunday clothes<br>For the day the day that I'll be leavin<br>Father knows, my sister knows,<br>And my friends, they're happy for me<br>And the priest he says, you should thank god,<br>For the blessing of such beauty,<br>And the last words I heard him say<br>Were I shall return for you, my love, on christmas day<br>I shall return for you, my love, on christmas day.<br>And the last words I heard him say<br>Were the last words I ever heard him say<br>I shall return for you, my love, on christmas day<br>I swear, I will return on christmas day,<br>And yes, I shall return on christmas day<br>I shall return, for you, on christmas day,<br>My love I will return on christmas day,<br>I shall return, my love on christmas day<br>On christmas day...
