[1st verse:]
|
In a garden fair
|
Sat a happy pair
|
'Neath a shady maple tree
|
She had promised him
|
"We'll be married, Jim
|
To the chimes of Trinity
|
'Tis the month of May
|
But next Christmas day
|
I will be your blushing bride
|
Don't you worry, dear
|
It will be soon be here"
|
But he looked at her and sighed
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Christmas chimes mean happy times
|
For you and me, sweetheart
|
Winter time means you'll be mine
|
And never more to part
|
Honeymoon can't shine too soon
|
I wish it were today
|
Girlie mine, don't christmas time
|
Seem years and years away?
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
"There is nothing dear
|
That I have to fear
|
If I can't afford the ring
|
Santa Claus is kind
|
And I'm sure he'll find
|
Just a plain gold band to bring
|
It's been just a year
|
Since I met you, dear
|
But it seems just like a day
|
If I only could
|
Girlie dear, I would
|
Turn December into May"
|
