| written by Ian Ford & J.L.S. On the hill above your place, Our eyes met as I gazed upon your face, Overhead the sun did shine, As I asked you to be mine. We sat upon the grassy knoll, Where I let my heart unfold. In the warmth of that day you heard me say, Be mine, be mine, forever and a day. You looked at me in surprise, I could see the brightness in your eyes, They shone like gold, So bright, so bold. As the breeze blew gently up there , you said, You would be mine and we would be wed. It was with gladness I greeted your words. My heart skipped a beat as it soared like the birds. But alas we were dealt a grievous blow. Alone you must be, as away to war I must go. For King and country they need me, But my heart is for you and always will be. |
| We walked hand in hand until we had to part, With love and sadness in our hearts. You to the place that we call home, Me off to war all alone. I know I am miles away from you , we are so far apart, But you are still the love of my life, my soul my heart. I pen these words to you my sweet love as bullets fly all around, And pray one day we meet again, safe and sound. As this tale unfolds, of the girl I met and loved, I look through the dust and smoke to the stars above. I feel cold without her love to keep me warm. My body feels like its been ravaged by a storm Never again will I see the light of day, But it is my loves face I am missing as they lower me underground to stay, My eyes are closed forever now, But I can still see the love I left behind somehow. One day as it is meant to be, We will meet once again. And though today is not that day, I shall love you even then. 11 April 2002. |
