You're eyes are as bright, as they were the first night When we danced to an old fashioned tune In a dusty old schoolhouse on Saturday nights How we laughed as we waltzed round the room You came from the valleys, to the dark city alleys To care for the young and the poor And me a young soldier with medals galore That I'd won in the African War CHORUS: How my heart filled with joy, as the others passed by By the look in their eyes I well knew That never before, as we swept round the floor Had they seen someone lovely as you 2. Your hair shone like gold, a joy to behold Your beauty was known far and wide There was many a young lad, who'd lay down his life For one moment to be by your side But you gave them no glances, you gave them no dances As you gracefully stepped on the floor With me a young soldier with medals galore That I'd won in the African War 3. When the morning had come, and the dancing all done We would walk in the dawn of the day I would tell you tall stories, of battles and glories And comrades who fell in the fray Now the years come and go, still the love that you show Is as sweet and as warm as before When I a young soldier with medals galore That I'd won in the African War |
