Soldier On

Never say goodbye

You're the apple of my eye

The bells I hear them ring

And in the churchyard children sing

For so long

For so long

I've soldiered on

For so long

Another blessed morning comes

Thy will on earth be done

Blundered into the abyss

To seek the wonders of your kiss

I still can taste your lips

My hands upon your hips

For so long

For so long

I've soldiered on

For so long

As the stars they slowly die

Thunder cracks across the sky

These are the words I've longed to say:

Be with me, my love, always

But no our moonlit silhouettes they part and fade

I'm left with a loneliness that has no name

For so long

For so long

I'll soldier on

For so longNever say goodbye

You're the apple of my eye
