[00:10.260] It was Christmas Eve
[00:13.509] In the drunk tank
[00:17.528] An old man said to me
[00:20.961] "Won't see another one"
[00:24.532] And then he sang a song
[00:28.503] The Rare Old Mountain Dew
[00:31.949] I turned my face away
[00:34.975] And dreamed about you
[00:37.285]
[00:39.599] Got on a lucky one
[00:43.069] Came in eighteen to one
[00:46.656] I've got a feeling
[00:50.424] This year's for me and you
[00:54.009] So, Happy Christmas
[00:57.596] I love you, baby
[01:01.469] I can see a better time
[01:04.110] When all our dreams come true
[01:06.967]
[01:16.717] They've got cars big as bars, they've got rivers of gold
[01:20.114] When the wind goes right through you, it's no place for the old
[01:23.238] When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve
[01:27.157] You told me Broadway was waiting for me
[01:29.018]
[01:29.783] You were handsome, you were pretty
[01:31.977] Queen of New York City
[01:33.981] When the band finished playing
[01:35.625] They howled out for more
[01:37.454] Sinatra was swinging
[01:38.900] All the drunks, they were singing
[01:40.875] We kissed on a corner
[01:42.604] Then danced through the night
[01:44.156]
[01:44.850] The boys of the NYPD choir
[01:47.851] Were singing "Galway Bay"
[01:50.973] And the bells were ringing out
[01:53.763] For Christmas day
[02:01.002]
[02:01.651] You're a bum, you're a punk
[02:03.233] You're an old slut on junk
[02:04.778] Lying there almost dead
[02:06.515] On a drip in that bed
[02:08.168] You scumbag, you maggot
[02:10.047] You cheap, and I've had it
[02:11.678] Happy Christmas, your arse
[02:13.424] I pray God it's our last
[02:15.084]
[02:15.770] And the boys of the NYPD choir
[02:18.525] Were singing "Galway Bay"
[02:22.214] And the bells are ringing out
[02:24.672] For Christmas day
[02:30.464]
[02:38.810] "I could have been someone"
[02:42.593] Well, so could anyone
[02:45.776] You took my dreams from me
[02:49.409] When I first found you
[02:52.982] I kept them with me, babe
[02:56.628] I put them with my own
[02:59.861] I can't make it all alone
[03:03.096] I've built my dreams around you
[03:07.523]
[03:08.493] And the boys of the NYPD choir
[03:11.558] Still singing "Galway Bay"
[03:15.441] And the bells are ringing out
[03:17.720] For Christmas day

It was Christmas Eve

So, Happy Christmas
I love you, baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
They've got cars big as bars, they've got rivers of gold

Well, so could anyone
You took my dreams from me

I can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you
And the boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing "Galway Bay"
