Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (Somewhere Far Away) - Katherine Jenkins

There’s a hero’s tale of a ship that sails

Under 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
