We'll Meet Again Vera Lynn (1939) We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when, But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day. Keep smiling through, just like you always do, 'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away. So will you please say hello to the folks that I know, Tell them I won't be long. They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go, I was singing this song. We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when, But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day. Keep smiling through, just like you always do, 'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.

There'll Always Be An England Vera Lynn (1941) Words & Music: Parker & Charles I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen. May this fair dear land we love so well, In dignity and freedom dwell. Though worlds may change and go awry, While there is still one voice to cry. There'll always be an England While there's a country lane, Wherever there's a cottage small Beside a field of grain. There'll always be an England While there's a busy street, Wherever there's a turning wheel, A million marching feet. Red, white and blue; what does it mean to you? Surely you're proud, shout it aloud, "Britons, awake!" The empire too, we can depend on you. Freedom remains. These are the chains Nothing can break. There'll always be an England, And England shall be free If England means as much to you As England means to me.

The White Cliffs of Dover Vera Lynn (1942) Words by Nat Burton, Music by Walter Kent 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.

When The Lights Go On Again Vera Lynn (1942) Words & Music: Bennie Benjamin, Sol Marcus, Eddie Seiler When the lights go on again all over the world, And the boys are home again all over the world, And rain or snow is all that may fall from the skies above, A kiss won't mean "goodbye" but "Hello to love". When the lights go on again all over the world, And the ships will sail again all over the world, Then we'll have time for things like wedding rings and free hearts will sing, When the lights go on again all over the world.
