[00:06.38]The young gentleman came riding past

[00:08.90]On a snow-blue winter's day

[00:12.18]He asked to drink by our fire and

[00:15.43]I was pleased to let him stay

[00:18.02]He drank there quietly for a while

[00:21.37]And then he turned and said to me

[00:23.73]Your eyes are green

[00:26.30]Like summer grass

[00:29.70]Your lips are red

[00:31.56]Like a fresh-cut rose

[00:35.36]Your hair is soft

[00:38.28]Like an Irish stream

[00:41.55]And your voice is filled with sweet beauty

[00:47.49]And the last words I heard him say were

[00:53.04]I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day

[01:02.71]And the night will come but I won't sleep

[01:05.75]As I watch the stars that lead him

[01:08.62]I cannot place where he is

[01:11.62]But still my heart goes with him

[01:14.45]I'm saving all my Sunday clothes for the day

[01:18.55]That I'll be leaving

[01:20.12]Father knows

[01:22.63]My sister knows

[01:26.07]And my friends

[01:27.86]They're happy for me

[01:32.13]And the priest he says

[01:34.70]You should thank God

[01:37.81]For the blessing of such beauty

[01:43.80]And the last words I heard him say were

[01:49.31]I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day

[01:58.23]I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day

[02:15.49]On Christmas Day

[02:28.59]I shall return for you

[02:45.10]My love

[02:49.24]And the last words I heard him say

[02:55.01]Were the last words I ever heard him say

[03:03.86]I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day

[03:10.97]I said I will return on Christmas Day

[03:17.09]And yes I shall return on Christmas day

[03:22.74]I shall return for you on Christmas Day

[03:28.33]My love

[03:29.08]I will return on Christmas Day

[03:34.67]I shall return my love on Christmas Day

[03:44.38]On Christmas Day
