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.
