Christmas Day lyrics

Artist  : Dido 
Song : Christmas Day



 Send "Christmas Day" Ringtone to your Cell 

 

A young gentleman came riding past,
On a snow
blue winters 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 swear,
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
