Chris De Burgh - The Girl With April In Her Eyes Lyrics






There once was a king, who called for the spring,
For his world was still covered in snow,
But the spring had not been, for he was wicked and mean,
In his winter-fields nothing would grow;
And when a traveller called seeking help at the door,
Only food and a bed for the night,
He ordered his slave to turn her away,
The girl with April in her eyes...

Oh, oh, oh, on and on she goes,
Through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow,
Hi, hi, hi, on and on she rides,
Someone help the girl with April in her eyes...

She rode through the night till she came to the light,
Of a humble man's home in the woods,
He brought her inside, by the firelight she died,
And he buried her gently and good;
Oh the morning was bright, all the world was snow-white,
But when he came to the place where she lay,
His field was ablaze with flowers on the grave,
Of the girl with April in her eyes...

Oh, oh, oh, on and on she goes,
Through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow,
Hi, hi, hi, on and on she flies,
She is gone, the girl with April in her eyes...

    It's so amazing, my mom used to listen to that song all the time when I was younger and she was cooking dinner for me. Sometimes she would translate the lyrics because I didn't speak English at this point, but sometimes she just closed her eyes and smiled.

    For me it was always just a song my mom loved but a few months ago I moved away to another town and sometimes I just like to come here, then I close my eyes and think about the good old times.

    I love this song so much and can barely forget it since I heard it for the first time, 30 + years ago. Whenever I listen to it, the story will pop up into my mind. It really catches my soul completely.

  18. T.... G....

    This song reminds of all the beautiful women of this harsh world like Marilyn Monroe who have been used abused and just left to perish at the hands of powerful people in pursuit of their own greedy ends.
    Women should have nothing to prove in this world just have their inner beauty admired and cherished

  19. J.... H....

    I married a girl in September 1978. We had one Christmas together and she died on February 14th 1979, five months after we wed. She was my girl with April in her eyes. No words can ..............

    Firstly, Salute to my late friends who taught me this tune - Stan Cat and Steve Cat. This song takes me back to my days in Chatsworth, Durban, South Africa- back in the 80's. Salute to me mates -Morgan, Marco, Colin, Barney..guys we tried but had no luck (we tried to form a band but that never happened but still remained friends and still dig the tunes). Rock n Roll Soldiers we remain

  34. K.... K....

    Suddenly remind from memory, this song had been hide for 30 yrs

    Some artists past their peak in popularity will hold special live concerts to replay one of their old albums from cover to cover. I would love for Chris de Burgh to perform this excellent album.
