[Verse]
G C
The streets of New York would be cold in the winter,
G D
There's a millon foot prints in the snow,
G C
An old man roasting chestnuts, and a young Uilleann piper,
G D
Who plays so easy and slow.
C G
And all the young lovers who pull up in taxis,
D
For flowers to make their love last.
G C G D
White Rose for new love, and Red Rose for true love.
G D G
Violets for love of the past.
G C
The young piper's family, they come from Boncrana,
G D
He knows places that she used to know,
G C
And it sounds so familiar, it could have been yesterday,
G D
Although its a lifetime ago.
C G
She remembers her true love, the night that she left him,
D
And the sadness when they saw each other part.
G C G D
White Rose for new love, and Red Rose for true love.
G D G
Violets for love of the past.
G C
The world is a small place, in New York at Christmas,
G D
And everybodys, everybodys friend.
G C
She sells all her flowers, she might by a ticket,
G D
And go back to Boncrana again.
C G
And all the young lovers who pull up in taxis,
D
For flowers to make their love last.
G C G D
White Rose for new love, and Red Rose for true love.
G D G
Violets for love of the past.
G C
She returned on vaction, to visit relations,
G D
And the love she left standing on the quay.
G C
But now he wears a band of gold, on a finger she once thought her own.
G D
Disheartened once more she must run.
C G
She might have liked to stay, but her memory would betray,
D
The words deep within her heart.
G C G D
The wind blew on the Galway Bay, once more she must sail away.
G D G
Violets for love of the past.
C G
And all the young lovers who pull up in taxis,
D
For flowers to make their love last.
G C G D
White Rose for new love, and Red Rose for true love.
G D G
Violets for love of the past.
C G
And all the young lovers who pull up in taxis,
D
For flowers to make their love last.
G C G D
White Rose for new love, and Red Rose for true love.
G D G
Violets for love of the past.
G D G
Violets for love of the past.
