[00:00.00]Say Goodbye To It All (Re-Recorded Version) - Chris De Burgh/Nick Ingman/London Session Orchestra/The Gwalia Male Choir
[00:13.11]We Took a boat over Lake Geneva
[00:16.98]It was raining all night long
[00:21.99]We were lucky and we saw no enemy
[00:25.98]And came from Switzerland poor refugees
[00:30.60]Far from the guns of war
[00:35.29]We said goodbye to it all
[00:43.42]They brought us into a nurse's station
[00:48.05]Half a mile behind the lines
[00:52.79]Oh Lord how my heart was breaking
[00:56.79]To see the children and the walking wounded
[01:01.42]Hoping for a ticket home
[01:06.04]And say goodbye to it all
[01:14.36]I woke up on a cold blue mornin'
[01:18.11]To see her there standin' right beside me
[01:23.48]Long years since I left her at the borderline
[01:27.48]And how she found me I'll never know
[01:32.30]We decided there and then
[01:37.04]To say goodbye to it all
[01:47.17]Say goodbye to it all
[01:56.67]Say goodbye to it all
[02:10.36]Took a train from Paris to the ocean
[02:14.73]Found a small hotel by the coast
[02:19.48]As we walked along the beaches of Normandy
[02:23.17]We came to Juno Omaha and Gold
[02:27.99]And whispered a prayer for the boys
[02:33.48]Who said goodbye to it all
[02:42.98]Now we've got our own place by the water
[02:46.85]And I have a job in the old hotel
[02:52.23]She is ready and she's hoping for a daughter
[02:56.85]Well I don't mind we've made our choice
[03:01.36]We've got all the time in the world
[03:06.11]We said goodbye to it all
[03:11.06]We said goodbye to it all
[03:31.63]Say goodbye to it all
[03:40.19]Say goodbye to it all
[03:49.69]Say goodbye to it all
[03:59.06]Say goodbye to it all
