"The Little Match Girl" lyrics - THE IRISH ROVERS

I've seen in my dreams, on a cold Christmas morning.
Visions of Sugar Plums, are dancing in my head
Turkey's and pudding, and toys for the children
Here in this city, it's good will to Warren's Men.

Please buy my matches, two-four a penny
To give you some cheer, on a cold Christmas Day.

A long time ago, away in a manger
Came to this earth, God's love for to show
He talked at the core, would inherit his kingdom.
But here in the streets, I'm alone in the snow.

Please buy my matches, two-four a penny
To give you some cheer, on a cold Christmas Day.

There's peace and there's plenty, behind lighted windows.
There's singing, and dancing, and heart's full of cheer.
But I have to sell matches, the world's still divided.
I remember good times, when my mother was here.

Please buy my matches, two-four a penny
To give you some cheer, on a cold Christmas Day.

By the heat of my matches, here in a doorway.
A vision of peace, creeps into my mind.
I feel that my mother has come back to hold me.
To take me to Christmas, where people are kind.

Please buy my matches, two-four a penny
To give you some cheer, on a cold Christmas Day.
