Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (Somewhere Far Away) (From ''Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence'')There's a hero's tale of a ship that sailsUnder distant stars somewhere far away And she's bound for glory on a foreign shore But the hero's every boy who sailed off to war Somewhere far away There's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home Where a nightingale Sings a promise to the ones who sleep alone Spring is in the air With a scent of cherry blossom in the glen Whispering a prayer Saying, "Bring our heroes safely home again" So the willows weep and the candles burn For there is no sleep for the ones who yearn As I tell your story with a thankful heart You are always in our thoughts, though we're worlds apart Somewhere far away There's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home Where a nightingale Sings a promise to the ones who sleep alone Spring is in the air With a scent of cherry blossom in the glen Whispering a prayer Saying, "Bring our heroes safely home again" Somewhere far away There's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home Where a nightingale Sings a promise to the ones who sleep alone And spring is in the air With a scent of cherry blossom in the glen Whispering a prayer Saying, "Bring our heroes safely home again" Home again Home again |
