Promised Return by Christmas (Live Version) - Uncle Dong
Lyrics by:Ji Dong
Composed by:Ji Dong
Promised return by Christmas a beauty so grand
Long hair like a waterfall skin like snow's strand
In her eyes the stars and the sea
A smile that could captivate eternally
Born of nobility yet humble and free
A heart full of dreams longing to be
One summer afternoon in a garden they met
A wanderer tall with a look hard to forget
Travelled far and wide stories he told
Mountains and rivers in her heart they'd unfold
Like a breeze he swept her heart away
To distant shores where dreams hold sway
Promised return by Christmas a beauty so grand
Long hair like a waterfall skin like snow's strand
As time passed their hearts drew near
Under the moon they walked without fear
In gardens they played stars overhead
In each other's company no words unsaid
Time flew by he prepared to roam
Promised return by Christmas to call her home
Her goodbye was filled with hope and dread
Every day she waited with thoughts in her head
Promised return by Christmas a beauty so grand
Long hair like a waterfall skin like snow's strand
Bells chimed Christmas came to be
But no sight of him in the snow so free
In the cold she waited night's embrace
Snowflakes falling sadness traced
She packed her things left the town
Memories heavy she couldn't drown
A letter she left words written clear
Knowing your name voice so near
Promised return by Christmas a beauty so grand
Long hair like a waterfall skin like snow's strand
