Eddie Fisher, Hugo Winterhalter - Christmas Day

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
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
