A Day to Myself - Clifford T. Ward

A Day to Myself Lyrics

It's all so different now
From just a few weeks ago
When April was about to smile on England
And I had to goSo here I am again
Far from where the blackbird sings
And lanes I love to walk along
Lost in my thoughtsAnd what of you my love
Though you're so far away
Yet so close to me in all I do and seeAnd so on my day off
I could have chosen monuments
Historic chateau, palaces
Or finding ways of improving my FrenchInstead I wandered out alone
Here where woods and fields abound
And in a quiet corner found the resting place
Of English soldiers killed in warAnd what of them my love
Who died so far from home
No last farewell kiss
All that remains is thisIt makes me so ashamed to feel alone

Whatever would they think of me
For I shall see my love againIt's all so different now
From those few years ago
When April smiled so sweetly still
And they had to go
