Fairytale of New York versuri

Fairytale of New York lyrics by Celtic Thunder

Verse 1
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

Verse 2
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

Verse 3
They’ve got cars big as bars, they’ve got rivers of gold
But the wind goes 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 waitin’ for me

Verse 4
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 a corner, then danced through the night

Chorus
The boys of the NYPD choir were singing „Galway Bay”
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day

Verse 5
You’re a bum, you’re a punk, you’re an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot, you’re a cheap, and you’re haggard
Happy Christmas, wee lass, I pray God it’s our last

Chrous
The boys of the NYPD choir were singing „Galway Bay”
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day

Verse 6
„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 out alone, I’ve built my dreams around you

Bridge
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na

Chorus
The boys of the NYPD choir were singing „Galway Bay”
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day
The boys of the NYPD choir were singing „Galway Bay”
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day
