Chris De Burgh - This Song For You Lyrics lyrics

rate me

Hello darling, this is the army,

I've just got the time to write,

Today we attach, there's no turning back,

the boys they're all ready for the fight.

Yes, I'm well but this place is like hell,

they call it Passchendaele,

In nineteen seventeen the war must be ending,

the General said this attach will not fail;

So I'm writing down this little melody

When you play it my love, think of me...

We'll be together in this song for you,

And it goes Lalala...sing it darling...Lalala...

They got old Bill and the Sergeant is still out there

Wounded in some shellhole,

They say this war will end all wars,

Oh God I really hope it will,

Oh how's old England, are they still singing

those songs that we loved to sing,

When all this is over, we'll go sailing in Dover,

catching fish like we used to with a string,

Oh I miss you, I miss you, I miss you so,

If they get me my love you will know...

We'll always be together in this song for you...

And it goes Lalala...I have to go now...

take care of yourself my love.
