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
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 said 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
