Låttexter: Chris De Burgh. This Song For You.

Hello darling, this is the army
I've just got the time to write
Today we attach, 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 1917, the war must be ending
The General said, "This attack will not fail"

So I'm writing down this little melody
When you play it my love, think of me
We'll be together in this song for you
And it goes, lalala, sing it, darling, lalala

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 so
If they get me my love you will know
We'll always be together in this song for you
And it goes, lalala, I have to go now
Take care of yourself, my love
