The Girl With April In Her Eyes       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, on and on she goes Through the winter's night The wild wind and the snow 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, on and on she goes Through the winter's night The wild wind and the snow Hi, hi, on and on she flies She is gone The girl with April in her eyes       The Girl With April In Her Eyes - Chris De Burgh     4월이면 떠오르는 슬픈 동화같은 노래.. 1948년생으로 아르헨티나 부에노스 아이레스에서 영국 외교관의 아들로 태어난 Chris De Burgh 의 본명은 'Christopher John Burgh Davison' 이며 영국 더불린에 있는 트리니티 대학 영문과 재학중 파티에서 한 작곡가를 만나면서 음악계에 입문하게 되고, 1975년 1집 'Far Beyond These Castie Walls을 발표한다. 그는 히트 싱글 'The Lady In Red' 를 비롯한 수많은 히트곡들을 남겼는데  그 중엔 'Arthur 2' 나 'American Psycho' 의 OST 삽입곡도 포함되어 있다. 현재까지 그의 앨범들은 세계적으로 5천만장 가량 판매된 것으로 집계되고 있으며,  그의 스테이지 네임인는 자신의 어머니가 처녀 때 쓰던 이름이라고 한다.
