(Chorus to start)
Take Me back on the Wings of Glory
Carry me far across the sea;
Lay me down in the land I love so
Where my spirit is forever free
V1
O my love, my sweetest darling
I guess you know what I must tell;
In the raging heat of battle
There, my dear, is where I fell.
V2
Weep not ye for me in sorrow
Heaven's peace is home above
The heart's pain it is eternal
Tears are just the pearls of love
Chorus
v3
Pride and honour shall now guide you
Tell our kids their Dad was brave
The ways of war stole them from me
My love lives beyond the grave
chorus..instrumental
v4
By sea and land, my lass, my darling
I'll wait for you till the end of days
No desert sands, nor guns of fury
Could ever halt the green berets! ! ! ! !
