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
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
