about

Written by Brendan Dalton
Recorded by The 1740 Boys Choir (Brendan Dalton and Evan Hall)

lyrics

My my, I think I spy
With my merry little eye
Ho-ho, way down below
Something shiny in the snow

Isildur's Bane, another name to be admired
Another storm, what's more, the Scourging of the Shire
Another day, another way to say I'll never ever tire

My precious, you're the wish that I desire
Won't you come and spend your Christmas by the fire?

So the season's growing near
And I'm just trying to spread some cheer
A little joy, a little mirth
Death to all in Middle-Earth

I'd send a sleigh, if you would say where you've retired
Sing you songs with all the demon-elven choirs
Build a winter wonderland among this muck and all this mire

You're the Christmas wish that desire
Won't you come and spend your Christmas by the fire?

See you, I see you (x2)
I can't tell you where I would not go
Won't you come and find me 'neath the mistletoe?

Now it's almost Christmas Eve
And I'm a child who still believes
This year, you'll come to see
A part of me is you is me

I'd send a sleigh, if you would say where you've retired
Sing you songs with all the demon-elven choirs
Build a winter wonderland among this muck and all this mire

You're the Christmas wish that desire
Won't you come and spend your Christmas by the fire?

See you, I see you (x2)

Please allow me to explain, dear
Why I sent the Nine, not reindeer
Ghosts of you and me still linger
Ever since I lost that finger

Christmastime will soon be knocking
on the Gates of Black
I would take an empty stocking
Just to have you back

See you, I see you (x 2)

No, I can't tell you where I would not go
So come and find me 'neath the mistletoe
My precious, you're the wish that I desire
So, come and spend your Christmas by the fire
