The Girl With April In Her Eyes - Chris De Burgh
There once was a King who called
for the Spring For his world was
still covered in snow
But the Spring had not been
for he was wicked and mean
In his winter fields nothing would
grow And when a traveller
called seeking help at the door
Only food and a bed for the night
He ordered his slave
to turn her away The girl with
April in her eyes

Oh oh on and on she goes
Through the winter's night
the wild wind and the snow
Hi hi on and on she rides
Someone help the girl
with April in her eyes

She rode through the night
till she came to the light
Of a humble man's home in the woods
He brought her inside
by the firelight she died
And he buried her gently and good
Oh the morning was bright
all the world was snow white
But when he came to the place
where she lay His field was ablaze
with flowers on the grave
Of the girl with April in her eyes

Oh oh on and on she goes
Through the winter's night
the wild wind and the snow
Hi hi on and on she flies
She is gone the girl with
April in her eyes
