G D A Bm
Long years would be lost and over since the morning train,
G D
And the words that he called out to her,
F# Bm
"I'll be back again!
G D
We will all be home for Christmas boys,
A
It's what the General said",
Bm G D
But little did they know the winds of war,
Em A
Would change the world instead,
D G D A
Oh, in this one life, there is one love,
D G A D
Through the ages to be with us evermore,
G D A Bm
He played his part a hero on the battlefield,
G D
'Til a shell burst right beside,
F# Bm
And brought him to his knees,
G D
As the blood just flowed away,
A
He turned his face up to the sky,
Bm G D
And a little boy was there beside him saying,
Em A
"Daddy, please don't die",
D G D A
Oh, in this one life, there is one love,
D G A D
Through the ages to be with us evermore,

No-one knew how he made it through, and soon was on the way,
G D
With the wounded back to England,
F# Bm
And from the early train,
G D A
He stepped down and in the distance saw his wife and a little boy,
Bm G D
Who came up running to his arms and said,
Em A
"My Daddy has come home",
D G D A
Oh, in this one life, there is one love,
D G A D
Through the ages to be with us evermore,
G D A
In this one life,
D G
Love of a different world,
D A D
There is one love.
