A Day To Myself Lyrics - Singles - Clifford T Ward

It's all so different now 

From just a few weeks ago 

When April was about to smile on England 

And I had to go 

So here I am again 

Far from where the blackbird sings 

And lanes I love to walk along 

Lost in my thoughts 

And what of you my love 

Though you're so far away 

Yet so close to me in all I do and see 

And so on my day off 

I could have chosen monuments 

Historic chateau, palaces 

Or finding ways of improving my French 

Instead I wandered out alone 

Here where woods and fields abound 

And in a quiet corner found the resting place 

Of English soldiers killed in war 

And what of them my love 

Who died so far from home 

No last farewell kiss 

All that remains is this 

It makes me so ashamed to feel alone 

Whatever would they think of me 

For I shall see my love again 

It's all so different now 

From those few years ago 

When April smiled so sweetly still 

And they had to go
