I've lived a long life
And now I'm looking back
It's the end of the road

The last stop on the track
And I smile as think of my true love once more
The light of my life

The one I adore

(Chorus)


She... she was the prize
The prettiest girl with the loveliest eyes

She... she was the prize
Shiny black hair and those lovely... lovely brown eyes


I met her one night
At the Harvest Fair dance
I longed for a whisper

I hoped for a glance
Then she turned and she smiled
And I melted away

And I knew I'd be with her 'til my dying day

(Repeat chorus)


We lay on the cliffs and we walked hand in hand
We threw stones in the waves

We drew hearts in the sand
Without warning clouds rolled in and blackened the sun
And when they roled out

My light, she was gone

(Repeat chorus)


I've she'd all my tears
And I've said my good-byes

Now I'll lay myself down
Where my pretty girl lies
And when I awake

I'll be on earth no more
I'll be dancing a jig with the girl adore


(Repeat chorus)
