How Long Will I Love You - Ellie Goulden

What a lovely, lovely song GiN :-)


"HOW LONG WILL I LOVE YOU"
(Single Version)

How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer, if I can.
How long will I need you?
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan.

How long will I be with you?
As long as the sea is bound to
Wash upon the sand.

How long will I want you?
As long as you want me to
And longer by far.
How long will I hold you?
As long as your father told you,
As long as you can.

How long will I give to you?
As long as I live through you
However long you say.

How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer, if I may.

[Spoken:]
We're all traveling through time together
Every day of our lives.
All we can do is do our best
To relish this remarkable ride.

AS GiN SAID.... Aaaah! :-) :-)

New Way To Fly.......Garth Brooks

Onward Christian Soldiers - written by Sabine Baring-Gould in 1865


Dry here in Lancashire
But we have some relatives who were evacuated last night from their home in Somerset.
Heartbreaking stuff.. when will it end ?

PACK UP YOUR TROUBLES IN YOUR OLD KIT-BAG..

Written by 2 Welsh Brothers from St Asaph, Denbighshire- George Henry Powell (Lyrics) under the pseudonym of "George Asaf," and Felix Powell (Music).

George became very disturbed that his song was used to march young men to their deaths and became a pacifist.

Felix Powell committed suicide during World War II in 1942, aged 63. Wearing the uniform of the Peacehaven Home Guard, he shot himself in the heart while on guard duty, using his own rifle

They never again achieved the success that this song brought them.
