|
It's all so different now |
|
From just a few weeks ago |
|
When April was about to smile on |
|
England And |
|
I had to go. |
|
So here I am again |
|
Far from where the blackbird sings |
|
And lanes |
|
I love to walk along |
|
Lost in my thoughts |
|
And what of you my love |
|
Though you're so far away |
|
Yet so close to me in all |
|
I do and see. |
|
And so on my day off |
|
I could have chosen monuments |
|
Historic chateau, palaces |
|
Or finding ways of improving my |
|
French Instead |
|
I wandered out alone |
|
Here where woods and fields abound |
|
And in a quiet corner found the resting place |
|
Of English soldiers killed in war. |
|
And what of them my love |
|
Who died so far from home |
|
No last farewell kiss |
|
All that remains is this. |
|
It makes me so ashamed to feel alone |
|
Whatever would they think of me |
|
For I shall see my love again. |
|
INSTRUMENT |
|
AL It's all so different now |
|
From those few years ago |
|
When April smiled so sweetly still |
|
And they had to go. |
