Verse:

I'll never forget the people I met,  Braving those angry skies.
I remember well as the shadows fell,  The lght of hope in their eyes.
And tho' I'm far away,  I still can hear them say "Thumbs Up".
 
Chorus:
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.
