I've lived a l
ong life
And now I'm lo
oking back
It's the end o
f the road
The last stop
on the track
And I smile as
I think
Of my true lov
e once more
The light of m
y life the one
I adore
CHORUS
She...she was
the prize
Prettiest girl
with the love
liest eyes
She...she was
the prize
Shiny black ha

I met her one
night
At the harvest
fair dance
I longed for a
whisper
I hoped for a
glance
Then she turne
d and she smil
ed
And I melted a
way
And I knew I’d
be with her ‘
til my dying d
ay
CHORUS
She...she was
the prize
Prettiest girl
with the love
liest eyes
She...she was

We lay on the
cliffs and we
walked hand in
hand
We threw stone
s in the waves
We drew hearts
in the sand
Without warnin
g clouds rolle
d in and black
ened the sun
And when they
rolled out
My light she w
as gone
CHORUS
She...she was
the prize
Prettiest girl
with the love
liest eyes
She...she was
the prize
Shiny black ha
ir and those l
ovely, those l
ovely brown ey

Now I've shed
all my tears
And I've said
my goodbyes
Now I'll lay m
yself down
Where my prett
y girl lies
And when I awa
ke I'll be on
earth no more
I'll be dancin
' a jig with t
he girl I ador
e
