The White Cliffs of Dover (There'll Be Bluebirds Over) - Vera Lynn

There’ll be bluebirds over

The white cliffs of Dover

Tomorrow, just you wait and see

I’ll never forget the people I met

Braving those angry skies

I remember well as the shadows fell

The light of hope in their eyes

And though I’m far away

I still can hear them say

«Thumbs up!»

For when the dawn comes up

There’ll be bluebirds over

The white cliffs of Dover

Tomorrow, just you wait and see

There’ll be love and laughter

And peace ever after

Tomorrow, when the world is free

The shepherd will tend his sheep

The valley will bloom again

And Jimmy will go to sleep

In his own little room again

I may not be near, but I have no fear

History will prove it too

When the tale is told

It will be as of old

For truth will always win through;

But be I far or near

That slogan still I’ll hear

«Thumbs up!»

For when the dawn comes up

There’ll be bluebirds over

The white cliffs of Dover

Tomorrow, just you wait and see

When night shadows fall, I’ll always recall

Out there across the sea

Twilight falling down on some little town

It’s fresh in my memory

I hear mother pray

And to her baby say

«Don't cry!»

This is her lullaby

There’ll be bluebirds over

The white cliffs of Dover

Tomorrow, just you wait and see
