Part One
Spring Heel Jack / J.Spaceman / Steve Noble / Alan Wilkinson Lyrics

I remember that day I left the war behind
I recall the day that I left the war and all its horrors behind me.

We were all grateful to be going home
All of us were feeling extremely grateful to finally go back to our homes.

As I stepped off the train
The moment I got off the train.

My only thought was, I was home
At that moment, my mind was solely focused on the thought that I had finally come back home.

Something shifted my gaze
Suddenly, my attention was directed elsewhere.

Moved over the crowd
My gaze started to scan those around me.

Our eye's met, I got lost in a sea of blue
Our eyes locked and I became captivated by the depth of blue in her eyes.

There was a welcome back party
There was a celebration held for those of us who returned back home from the war.

In the old town park
It was held at the aged town park.

When I saw you once again
The moment I saw you again after all that time.

I asked you to dance
I intended to sway to the rhythm of the music with you.

Taking my thoughts away from the pain
You helped to alleviate my pain and allowed me to forget all my troubles.

I took your hand, we went for a walk
I held your hand and we started walking.

Oh, down along that riverside
We walked by the serene riverside.

With the stars dancing in your eyes
In the midst of the beautiful night sky, your eyes sparkled.

I couldn't resist a kiss
I found myself powerless and gave in to the urge to kiss you.

Standing beneath that old willow tree
We stood right under the ancient willow tree.

I knew you have my heart
At that moment, I knew that you had my heart forever.

To show you I carved a heart
I carved a heart just to demonstrate my love for you.

With our names inside
Our names were inscribed within it.

I knew it was fast I couldn't wait
Despite being hasty, I couldn't wait any longer.

Not too long after that night
Soon after that night.

I was down on one knee
I got down on one knee to propose to you.

Hoping you'd become my wife
Hoping that you'd accept my proposal and become my wife.

Oh, our lives became one
Our lives became unified and inseparable.

A week later
Just a week after that.

I found out just how strong you were
It was then when I realized how brave and strong you really were.

It can be difficult, being a soldier's wife
It's quite challenging being the wife of a soldier.

The times you held me through the night
You were there for me through the tough times and stayed up with me during the night when I needed you.

You gave me my reason to fight
You gave me a purpose to continue fighting and never gave up.

Oh, when our son was born
When our son was brought into this world.

I don't know what made me smile more
I don't remember what made me happier.

It amazes me how he's grown
It's quite surprising and incredible how much he has grown.

Watching me, doing little things
Watching him do little things while observing me.

Tells me, hey, I'm just like you dad
It just tells me that he's like me, hey dad.

You gave me one more reason to forget the war
You became one more reason why I began to forget the war.

No matter what comes our way
Regardless of what obstacles come our way.

I want you in my life
I want you to be with me for as long as we're alive.

it would be no other way
It should and can only be this way between us.

I never dreamed I'd grow old
I never imagined that I would ever grow old.

With my best friend, my love, my lady
But I'm lucky to be growing old with you, who happens to be my closest confidante, my true love, and my lady.

I shall always cherish that first day
I'll always forever cherish the very first day when we first met.
