Song Lyrics
And my friends, and the last words i heard him say
I m savin all my sunday clothes, my love on christmas day
i shall return for you
I shall return, on christmas day, father knows
they re happy for me and the priest he says
on christmas day
The night will come but i won t sleep, then he turned and said to me your eyes are green
He drank there quietly for a while, i shall return for you, but still my heart goes with him
For the blessing of such beauty, but still my heart goes with him
Were i shall return for you, and the last words i heard him say, on christmas day
And the last words i heard him say, i shall return
The night will come but i won t sleep, were i shall return Christmas, as i watch the stars that lead him
on christmas day
they re happy for me and the priest he says
Were i shall return for you, and my friends
On christmas day, like summer grass, were the last words i ever heard him say
And i was pleased to let him stay, my love on christmas day
Father knows, father knows, a young gentleman came riding past
i cannot place where his is
were i shall return
your lips are red like a fresh cut rose
on christmas day
For the blessing of such beauty, on christmas day
And the last words i heard him say, i m savin all my sunday clothes, on christmas day
And i was pleased to let him stay, for the blessing of such beauty
my love on christmas day
He drank there quietly for a while, for the day the day that i ll be leavin, i m savin all my sunday clothes
A young gentleman came riding past, they re happy for me and the priest he says
