White Cliffs Of Dover |
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 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
There'll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow, just you wait and see
I may not be near But I have no fear
Hist'ry will prove it too
When the tale is told, 'Twill 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...
