Lifening

A hand upon my forehead
A joke and then a laugh
Waking up in your arms
A place to call my own

This is all I ever wanted from life

Ireland in the World Cup either North or South
The fan club on the jukebox
The birds and yes the bees

This is all I ever wanted from life

Words of reassurance but only if they're true
Just some simple kindness
No vengeance from the Gods

This is all I ever wanted from life

To share what I've been given
Some kids eventually
And be for them what I've had
A father like my dad

This is all I ever wanted from life
