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
