For Christmas Day

I saw three ships come sailing in On Christmas day On Christmas day I saw three ships come sailing in On Christmas day in the morning And what was on those ships so fair On Christmas day On Christmas day And what was on those ships so fair On Christmas day in the morning? Our soldiers had come home to us On Christmas day On Christmas day Our soldiers had come home to us On Christmas day in the morning And all the land rejoiced with me On Christmas day On Christmas day And all the land rejoiced with me On Christmas day in the morning For homecoming meant war had ceased On Christmas day On Christmas day For homecoming meant war had ceased On Christmas day in the morning Please God, don't let me leave this dream For Christmas day For Christmas day Please God, don't let me leave this dream For Christmas day in the morning
