The Girl With April In Her Eyes

The Girl With April In Her Eyes - Chris De Burgh

There once was a king who called for the spring

For his world was still covered with snow

But the spring had not been for he was wicked and mean

In his winter fields nothing would grow

And when a traveller called seeking help at the door

Only food and a bed for a night

He ordered his slave to turn her away

The girl with April in her eyes

Oh oh oh on and on she goes

Through the winter's night the wild wind and the snow

Hi hi hi on and on she rides

Someone help the girl with April in her eyes

She rode through the night till she came to the light

Of a humble man's home in the woods

He brought her inside by the firelight she died

And he buried her gently and good

Oh the morning was bright all the world snow-white

But when he came to the place where she lay

His field was ablaze with flowers on the grave

Of the girl with April in her eyes

Oh oh oh on and on she goes

Through the winter's night the wild wind and the snow

Hi hi hi on and on she flies

She is gone the girl with April in her eyes
