One Life, One Love - Chris De Burgh

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
