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
