Am I back in your arms? |

Away from all harm? |

It's like a dream to be with you again |

Can't believe that I'm with you again |
|
I missed you and I must admit |

I kissed a few and once did sit |
|
On Ivor the Engine Driver's lap |
|
And later with him, had a nap |
|
You are forgiven, you are forgiven, you are forgiven ... (ad lib) |
|
You are forgiven |
