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 can 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.
There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover,
Tomorrow, just you wait and see.
