O come all ye young and fair
And those who are in love
I'll tell to you the many joys of love
From your first to your last
Love is bittersweet and sad
Love is gentle, love is strong and love is kind

[Chorus]
As we ramble by day
Through this lonely life we stray
It's sweeter to have loved along the way
Like the dew upon the rose
Or the fairy wind that blows
As we wander through life's misty, foggy dew

Like the stream that`s rushing wild
Or the mischief of the child
Or the gentle river slowly passing by
Love is deeper than the seas
And is taller than the trees
And brighter than the stars up in the sky

[Chorus]
As we ramble by day
Through this lonely life we stray
It's sweeter to have loved along the way
Like the dew upon the rose
Or the fairy wind that blows
As we wander through life's misty, foggy dew
Sometimes love I have won
And sometimes I have lost
But far better to have love than not at all
There's a love that can be false
That goes gnawing at your heart
Or true love that is sweeter than the rose

[Chorus]
As we ramble by day
Through this lonely life we stray
It's sweeter to have loved along the way
Like the dew upon the rose
Or the fairy wind that blows
As we wander through life's misty, foggy dew
