St. Stephen's Day Lyrics

Count the days until I'm back to you

I'll be back by Christmas to see how you grew

And you'll leap into my arms before

I'll get the chance to say "I missed you"

Then, while I can stay

On the next St. Stephen's Day

I will take you to the seaside

And amidst the sand, we'll play

And if you swam in the water

I would love to see the look on your face

The sea can be a very icy place

Before it gets dark

I could take you to the park

You can stand upon my shoulders

While you try to climb the bark

You can tell me about school

And how you fell and got a nasty little mark

Then, while we sit and feed the ducks

I'll tell you that I've had enough

And that I'll never go away

When I'm not with you, my heart aches

And I will tell you all of this

On St. Stephen's Day
