lyrics

Maggie and Jo arrive at 11
Part of the Marie Curie team
District nurse Penny at 2pm
To check is all is well as it seems
Then Jodie and Laura at 4 o’clock
At 7 the Rowan nurses take their turn
Twilight nurses on hand through the night
For life goes on

And they’re working round the clock
24/7, it never stops
Giving their time all the while
Always caring with a smile

They have the kindest of hearts
The bravest of souls they remain
Like angels of mercy they spread their wings
As they call on the sick to ease their pain
Uniforms of blue, daffodil pins
Pocket watches showing hours gone
No one could fault their dedication
And life goes on

And they’re working round the clock
24/7, it never stops
Giving their time all the while
Always caring with a smile

And for someone their life is ending
It is ending today

And they’re working round the clock
24/7, it never stops
Giving their time all the while
Always caring with a smile

And they’re working round the clock
24/7, it never stops
Giving their time all the while
Always caring with a smile
