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
