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 long Never say goodbye You're the apple of my eye
