The rare old mountain dew
I turned my
away and dreamed about you
They got

They got
of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It´s no place for the
When you first took my
on a cold christmas eve
You promised me broadway was waiting for me
You were

to be with. And I was so

Song
I could have been someone

The boys of the NYPD choir's still singing Galway Bay
And the bells are ringing out
For Christmas Day.
