[Verse 1]
Walking down 29th and Park
I saw you in another's arms
Only a month we've been apart
You look happier, you do
'Twas Christmas Eve babe
Well, in the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause baby you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day I'll feel it too
And until then I'll smile to hide the truth
But I know I was happier with you

[Chorus 1]
And the boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

[Verse 2]
Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
But ain't nobody need you like I do
I know that there's others that deserve you
But my darlin', I am so in love with you
[Chorus 2]
Oh, the boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day
Oh, the boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

[Outro]
'Cause baby, you look happier, you do
I knew one day you'd fall for someone new
But if he breaks your heart like lovers do
Just know that I'll be waitin' here for you
