Fairytale of New York

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

That 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, when all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars, they've got rivers of gold

The wind blows right through you, 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

We howled out for more

Sinatra was swinging

The drunks were all singing

We kissed on a corner

And danced through the night

And the boys in the NYPD choir

Were singing "Galway Bay"

And the bells were 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 do it all alone

I've built my dreams around you

And the boys in the NYPD choir

Were singing "Galway Bay"

And the bells were ringing out

For Christmas day

And the boys of the NYPD choir

They were singing "Galway Bay"

And the bells were ringing out

For Christmas day
