Celtic Thunder - Fairytale Of New York lyrics

It was Christmas Eve, babe In the drunk tank An old man said to me Won’t see another one And then he sang a song The rare Old Mountain Dew I turned my face away And dreamed about you Got on a lucky one Came in eighteen to one I’ve got a feeling This year’s for me and you So happy Christmas I love you, baby I can see a better time When all our dreams come true sponsored links They’ve got cars big as bars, they’ve got rivers of gold But the wind blows right through, it’s no place for the old When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve You promised me Broadway was waiting for me You were handsome, you were pretty, Queen of New York City When the band finished playing, they howled out for more Sinatra was swinging, all the drunks they were singing We kissed on the corner then danced through the night The boys of the NYPD choir were singing “Galway Bay” And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day You’re a bum, you’re a punk, you’re an old crooked drunk Lying there almost dead, on a drip in that bed You scum bag, you maggot, you’re cheap and you’re haggard Happy Christmas, me la**, I pray God, it’s our last The boys of the NYPD choir were singing “Galway Bay” And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day I could have been someone Well, so could anyone You took my dreams from me When I first found you I kept them with me, babe I put them with my own Can’t make it all alone I’ve built my dreams around you Na na na… The boys of the NYPD choir were singing “Galway Bay” And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day The boys of the NYPD choir were singing “Galway Bay” And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day
