| 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 |
