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

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
