Soldier On

Never say goodbye
You're the apple of my eyes
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
I`m left with moonlit silhouettes they part and fade
I'm left with a loneliness that has no name
For so long, for so long
I've soldiered on for so long
Never say goodbye
You're the apple of my eye
