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

She's 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 long 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 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 I road out

My light, she was gone



(Repeat chorus)



I've shed 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)
