[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"
