A hand upon my forehead
The joke and then the laugh
Waking up in your arms
A place to call my own
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
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
This is all I ever wanted from life
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
This is all I ever wanted from life
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
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
