Chris De Burgh - This Song For You lyrics

Hello darling, this is the army

I've just got the time to write

Today we attack, 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 attack will not fail

So I'm writing down this simple little melody

When you play it, my love, think of me

We'll be together in this song for you

And it goes: La la la...

Sing it darling: La la la...

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

If they get me my love you will know

We'll always be together in this song for you

And it goes La la la ... I have to go now

Take care of yourself my love
