Christmas Day Lyrics
The young gentleman came riding past
On a snow-blue winter's 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
