Long years would be lost and over since the morning train, |
|
And the words that he called out to her, "I'll be back again! We will all be home for Christmas boys, It's what the General said", |
|
But little did they know the winds of war |
|
Would change the world instead; |
|
Oh, in this one life, there is one love, |
|
Through the ages to be with us evermore; |
|
He played his part a hero on the battlefield, ' |
|
Til a shell burst right beside, |
|
And brought him to his knees, |
|
As the blood just flowed away, |
|
He turned his face up to the sky, |
|
And a little boy was there beside him saying, "Daddy, please don't die"; |
|
Oh, in this one life, there is one love, |
|
Through the ages to be with us evermore; |
|
No-one knew how he made it through, |
|
And soon was on the way, |
|
With the wounded back to |
|
England, And from the early train, he stepped down, |
|
And in the distance saw his wife and a little boy, |
|
Who came up running to his arms and said, "My Daddy has come home"; |
|
Oh, in this one life, there is one love, |
|
Through the ages to be with us evermore; |
|
In this one life: |
|
Love of a different world; |
|
There is one love. |
