A hand upon my forehead The joking and 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
