I can't believe it
Do my eyes deceive me
Am I back in your arms
Away from all harm
It's like a dream to be
with you again
Can't believe
that I'm with you again
I missed you and I must admit
I kissed a few and once did sit
On Ivor the Engine Driver's lap
And later with him had a nap
You are forgiven you are forgiven
you are forgiven
you are forgiven
