I've lived a long life   And now I'm looking back   It's the end of the road    The last stop on the track   And I smile as think of my true love once more   The light of my life   The one I adore      she...she was the prize   the prettiest girl with the loveliest eyes   she...she was the prize   shiny black hair and those lovely... those a lovely brown eyes      i met her one night at the harvest fair dance   i longed for a whisper, i hoped for a glance   then she turned and she smiled and i melted away   and i knew i'd be with her 'till my dying day      she...she was the prize   the prettiest girl with the loveliest eyes   she...she was the prize   shiny black hair and those lovely... ah those a lovely brown eyes      we lay on the cliffs   and we walked hand in hand   we threw stones at the waves    we drew hearts in the sand   with out warning clouds rolled in and blackened the sun   and when they rolled out   my light she was gone      she...she was the prize   the prettiest girl with the lovliest eyes   she...she was the prize   shiny black hair and those lovely... those a lovely brown eyes            i've shed all my tears   and i've said my goodbyes   now i lay myself down   where my pretty girl lies   and when i awake i'll be on earth no more   i'll be dancing a jig with the girl i adore      she...she was the prize   the prettiest girl with the lovliest eyes   she...she was the prize   shiny black hair and those lovely... those a lovely brown eyes
