Katherine Jenkins - Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence [Somewhere Far Away]

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 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 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

Spring is in the air

With scent of cherry blossom in the glen

Whispering a prayer

Saying bring our heroes safely home again

Home again, home again
