Lyrics The Little Match Girl - The Irish Rovers

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

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

A long time ago, a babe in a manger
Came to this earth, God's love for to show
He taught that the poor, would inherit his kingdom
But here in the streets, I'm alone in the snow

Please buy my matches, two for 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 ill divided
I remember good times, when my mother was here

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