DOES IT MATTER

Sassoon

 

Solo 1:       Does it matter—losing your legs?

                   For people will always be kind,

                   And you need not show that you mind

All:             When the others come in after hunting

                   To gobble their muffins and eggs

 

Solo 2:       Does it matter—losing your sight?....

                   There’s such splendid work for the blind;

                   And people will always be kind,

All:             As you sit on the terrace remembering

                   And turning your face to the light.

 

Solo 3:       Do they matter---those dreams from the pit?

                   You can drink and forget and be glad,

                   And people won’t say that you’re mad;

All:             For they’ll know that you’ve fought for your country,

                   And now one will worry a bit.
