We will

Gilbert O'Sullivan · Very Best Of Gilbert O'sullivan [2012]

It's over now

you've had your fun

get up them stairs go on quickly don't run

Take off your shoes the both of you's leave them down outside the door

turn the landing light off,

no wait, leave it on it

it might make the night

that easier to be gone

and in the morning who'll be wide awake

and eating snow flakes as

opposed to those flakes

(We Will) We Will (We Will) We will



That afternoon we spend the day

with uncle Frank (remember?) and his wife auntie Mae

well do you know

since then I've recieved

up to four letters all of which repeat the same

they say thrilled to bits

can't believe you came

we relived it both

over time and time again

and if there's

even a chance or even half

you might be our way

would you promise to stay

(We will) We will (We will) We Will

Yeah..yeah..yeah



Oh its no easy pretending

that you cannot hear

once you've suffered the reflections within

It's no use in an ending

to proclaim from the start that the

moral of the stories to begin.



On Sunday next if the weather holds

we'll have that game

but I bagsy-being-in-goal

not because I'm good

or because I think I should

it's just that well at

my age I think standing still

would really suit me best

do we all agree?

hands up those who do

hands up those who don't

I see well in that case

will we please be kind enough

if not on Sunday

to go to mass on Monday

(We will) We will (We will ) We will yeah yeah (We will)

We Will
