Vera Lynn Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Auf Wiederseh'n Sweetheart

Lyricist:John (eng Lyr) Sexton, Eberhard Storch, John (eng Lyr) Turner

Auf wiedersehen, auf wiedersehen
We'll meet again, sweetheart
This lovely day has flown away
The time has come to part

We'll kiss again, like this again
Don't let the teardrops start
With love that's true, I'll wait for you
Auf wiedersehen, sweetheart


2.We'll Meet Again

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
Till 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


3.From The Time You Say Goodbye (The Parting Song)

Lyricist:Leslie Sturdy

From the time you say goodbye
From the time you say cheerio
Will you take a handshake true
For your journey as you go?

Leave a prayer within your heart
That the time will surely fly
To the day when we shall meet again
From the time you say goodbye

From the time you say goodbye
From the time you say cheerio
Will you take a handshake true
For your journey as you go?

Leave a prayer within your heart
That the time will surely fly
To the day when we shall meet again
From the time you say goodbye


4.I'll Be Seeing You

Lyricist:Sammy Fain, Irving Kahal

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine
Embraces all day through

In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carousel
The chestnut trees, the wishing well

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way

I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way

I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you


5.That Old Feeling

Lyricist:Lew Brown, Sammy Fain

Last night I started out happy
Last night my heart was so gay
Last night I found myself dancing
In my favorite cabaret

You were completely forgotten
Just an affair of the past
Then suddenly something happened to me
And I found my heart beating, oh, so fast

I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight, I got that old feeling
The moment that you danced by I felt a thrill
And when you caught my eye my heart stood still

Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
And I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
For that old feeling is still in my heart

I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight I got that old feeling
The moment that you danced by I felt a thrill
And when you caught my eye my heart stood still

Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
And I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
For that old feeling is still in my heart


6.The Anniversary Waltz

Lyricist:Al Dubin, Dave Franklin

We just discovered each other
Tonight when the lights were low
One dance led up to another
And now, I can't let you go

So tell me, I may always dance
The anniversary waltz with you
Tell me this is real romance
An anniversary dream come true

Let this be the answer to our future years
Through millions of smiles and a few little tears
May I always listen to the anniversary waltz
With you

Let this be the answer to our future years
Through millions of smiles and a few little tears
May I always listen to the anniversary waltz
With you


7.A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square

Lyricist:Eric Maschwitz, Manning Sherwin

When two lovers meet in Mayfair, so the legends tell
Songbirds sing and winter turns to spring
Every winding street in Mayfair falls beneath the spell
I know such enchantment can be
'Cause it happened one evening to me

That certain night, the night we met
There was magic abroad in the air
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkley Square

I may be right, I may be wrong
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkley Square

The moon that lingered over London town
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown
How could he know we two were so in love
The whole darn world seemed upside down

The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said goodnight
A nightingale sang in Berkley Square

Our homeward step was just as light
As the tap dancing feet of Astaire
And like an echo far away
A nightingale sang in Berkley Square

I know 'cause I was there
That night in Berkley Square


8.Smilin' Through

Lyricist:Arthur A. Penn

There's a little brown road windin' over the hill
To a little white cot by the sea
There's a little green gate at whose trellis I wait
While two eyes o' blue come smilin' through at me

There's a gray lock or two in the brown of the hair
There's some silver in mine too, I see
But in all the long years when the clouds brought their tears
Those two eyes o' blue kept smilin' through at me

And if ever I'm left in this world all alone
I shall wait for my call patiently
For if Heaven be kind, I shall wait there to find
Those two eyes o' blue come smilin' through at me


9.That Lovely Weekend

Lyricist:Moira Heath, Ted Heath

My darling, here's my letter I'm writing through my tears
A few sweet words to thank you for lovely souvenirs
Memories you gave me still echo in my heart
I'll dream if then while we're apart

I haven't said thanks for that lovely weekend
Those two days of heaven you helped me spend
The thrill of your kiss as you stepped off the train
The smile in your eyes like the sun after rain

To mark the occasion we went out to dine
Remember the laughter, the music, the wine
That drive in the taxi when midnight had flown
Then breakfast next morning, just we two alone

You had to go, the time was too short
We both had so much to say
Your kit to be packed, the train to be caught
Sorry I cried but I just felt that way

And now you have gone, dear, this letter I pen
My heart travels with you till we meet again
Keep smiling, my darling, and someday we'll spend
A lifetime as sweet as that lovely weekend


10.Wishing (Will Make It So)

Lyricist:Buddy G Desylva

Wishing will make it so
Just keep on wishing and care will go
Dreamers tell us dreams come true
It's no mistake

Wishing are the dreams
We dream when we're awake
The curtain of night will pass
If you are certain within your heart

So if you wish long enough
Wish strong enough
You will come to know
Wishing will make it so

Just imagine that you are
Back in childhood days
Wishing on the evening star
For a load of hay

It worked wonders for you then
Who knows why or how
Though your older try again
It can help you now

Wishing will make it so
Just keep on wishing and care will go
Dreamers tell us dreams come true
It's no mistake

Wishing are the dreams
We dream when we're awake
The curtain of night will pass
If you are certain within your heart

So if you wish long enough
Wish strong enough
You will come to know
Wishing will make it so


11.My Son, My Son

Lyricist:Eddie Calvert, Robert Stanley Howard, Gordon Melville Rees

My son, my son
My son, my son
You're everything to me
My son, my son
You're all I hoped you'd be

My son, my son
My only pride and joy
God bless and keep you safe
My own, my precious boy

For all the care and heartache
Life has brought to me
One precious gift
Has made it all worthwhile

For heaven blessed
And with great joy rewarded me
For I can look
And see my own beloved son

My son, my son
Just do the best you can
Then in my heart I'm sure
You'll face life like a man

My pride and joy
My life, my boy
My son, my son


12.Have I Told You Lately That I Love You

Lyricist:Scott Wiseman

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Could I tell you once again somehow?
Have I told with all my heart and soul how I adore you?
Well darlin', I'm tellin' you now

This heart would break in two if you refuse me
I'm no good without you anyhow
Dear, have I told you lately that I love you
Well darlin', I'm tellin' you now

Have I told you lately that I miss you
When the stars are shinin' in the sky?
Have I told you why the nights are long when you're not with me?
Well darlin', I'm tellin' you now

This heart would break in two if you refuse me
I'm no good without you anyhow
Dear, have I told you lately that I love you?
Well darlin', I'm tellin' you now

Have I told you lately when I'm sleepin'
Every dream I dream is you somehow?
Have I told you who I'd like to share my love forever?
Well darlin', I'm telling you now

This heart would break in two if you refuse me
I'm no good without you anyhow
Dear, have I told you lately that I love you?
Well darlin', I'm tellin' you now


13.I Had The Craziest Dream

Lyricist:Mack Gordon, Harry Warren

In a dream the strangest and the oddest things appear
And what insane and silly things we do
Here is what I see before me, vividly and clear
As I recall it; you were in it; too

I had the craziest dream last night, yes I did
I never dreamt it could be
Yet there you were, in love with me

I found your lips close to mine so I kissed you
And you didn't mind it at all
When I'm awake such a break never happens
How long can a gal go on dreaming?

If there's a chance that you care
Then, please, say you do, baby
Say it and make my craziest dream come true


14.Jealousy

Lyricist:Vera Bloom, Jacob Gade

Jealousy, night and day, you torture me
I sometimes wonder if this spell that I'm under
Can only be a melody for I know no one but me
Has won your heart, but when the music starts

My peace departs from the moment
They play that lovely strain
And we surrender to all its charm again
This jealousy that tortures me is ecstasy, mystery, pain

We dance to a tango of love
Your heart beats with mine as we sway
You eyes give the answer I'm dreaming of
That soft word your cruel lips will never say

I fear that the music will end
And shatter the spell it may lend
To make me believe when your eyes just deceive
But it's only the tango you love

I feel that the music will end
And shatter the spell it may lend
To make me believe when your eyes just deceive
And, it's only the tango you love
It's only the tango that you love


15.I'll Never Smile Again

Lyricist:Ruth Lowe

I'll never smile again
Until I smile at you
I'll never laugh again
What good would it do?

For tears would fill my eyes
My heart would realize
That our romance is through

I'll never love again
I'm so in love with you
I'll never thrill again
To somebody new

Within my heart
I know I will never start
To smile again
Until I smile at you


16.When The Lights Go On Again

Lyricist:B Benjamin, S Marcus, E 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

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


17.Who's Taking You Home Tonight

Lyricist:Thomas Patrick Connor, Manning Sherwin

They met at a dance in a waltz of romance
Strangers, but strange as it seems
The girl's heart was thrilled, a dream was fulfilled
At these words from the boy of her dreams

Who's taking you home tonight
After the dance is through?
Who's going to hold you tight
And whisper, 'I love you, I do'

Who's the lucky boy that's going your way
To kiss you goodnight at your doorway?
Who's taking you home tonight?
I'm pleading, please let it be me

Who's taking you home tonight?
Darling, it's plain to see
I'm pleading, please let it be me


18.Someone's Rocking My Dreamboat

Lyricist:Rene Otis J, Leon T. Rene, Emerson C. Scott

Someone's rocking my dreamboat
Someone's invading my dream
We were sailing along, so peaceful and calm
Suddenly, something went wrong

Someone's rocking my dreamboat
Disturbing a beautiful dream
It's a mystery to me, this mutiny at sea
Who can it be?

A friendly breeze gave us a start
To a paradise of our own
All at once a storm blew us apart
And left me drifting alone

Someone's rocking my dreamboat
I'm captain without any crew
But with love as my guide, I'll follow the tide
I'll keep sailing till I find you

Someone's rocking my dreamboat
Someone's invading my dream
We were sailing along, so peaceful and calm
Suddenly, something went wrong

Someone's rocking my dreamboat
Disturbing a beautiful dream
It's a mystery to me, this mutiny at sea
Who can it be?
(Who can it be?)

A friendly breeze gave us a start
To a paradise of our own
All at once a storm blew us apart
And left me drifting alone

Someone's rocking my dreamboat
I'm captain without any crew
But with love as my guide, I'll follow the tide
I'll keep sailing till I find you


19.It's A Sin To Tell A Lie

Lyricist:William Mayhew

Be sure it's true when you say I love you
It's a sin to tell a lie
Millions of hearts have been broken
Just because these words were spoken

I love you, yes, I do, I love you
If you break my heart I'll die
So be sure it's true when you say I love you
It's a sin to tell a lie

Be sure it's true when you say I love you
It's a sin to tell a lie
Millions of hearts have been broken
Just because these words were spoken

I love you, yes, I do, I love you
If you break my heart I'll die
So be sure it's true when you say I love you
It's a sin to tell a lie


20.I'll Pray For You

On the land or in the air
Or on the deep blue sea
I don't care no matter where
You're everything to me

I'll pray for you while you're away
Each night and day I'll pray for you
I'll pray for you till troubles cease
Then you and I will live in peace

Though my tears are falling
A smile will still remain
The smile that I'll be saving
To greet you back again
My love for you will brightly burn
Till you return, I'll pray for you

Though my tears are falling
A smile will still remain
The smile that I'll be saving
To greet you back again
My love for you will brightly burn
Till you return, I'll pray for you


21.Fools Rush In

'Romance is a game for fools' I used to say
A game I thought I'd never play
'Romance is a game for fools' I said and grinned
Then you passed by and here am I
Throwing caution to the wind

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you, my love, my heart above my head
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me, then I don't care

Mm, mm, mm, mm
Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?
When we met, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in

Fools rush in where wise men never, never, never go
Eh, but wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?
Ahh, when we met, girl, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in

Just open up your heart and let this fool rush on in
Just open up your heart because I, I, I, I, I, I, I am coming in
Open up your heart and let this fool rush in


22.Ev'ry Hour, Ev'ry Day Of My Life

Show me a way that I can be with you
Ev'ry hour, ev'ry day of my life
Nothing's worthwhile if I can't smile at you
Ev'ry hour, ev'ry day of my life

Grant me the right to know you're there
To know you care for me
Grant me the right to enfold you, dear
And hold you near to me

If there's a way that I could love you more
Show me that way
Say that you'll stay near me for ever
Ev'ry hour, ev'ry day of my life

Grant me the right to know you're there
To know you care for me
Grant me the right to enfold you, dear
And hold you near to me

If there's a way that I could love you more
Show me that way
Say that you'll stay near me for ever
Ev'ry hour, ev'ry day of my life


23.Back In Your Own Backyard

The bird with feathers of blue
Is waiting for you
Back in your own back yard

You'll see your castle in Spain
Through your window pane
Back in your own back yard

Now you can go to the east
Go to the west, bit someday you'll come
Weary at heart, back where you started from

You'll find your happiness lies
Right under your eyes
Back in your own back yard

The bird with feathers of blue
Is waiting for you
Back in your own back yard

You'll see your castle in Spain
Through your window pane
Back in your own back yard

Now you can fly to the east
Fly to the west, bit someday you'll come
Weary at heart, back where you started from

You'll find your happiness lies
Right under your eyes
Back in your, your own back yard
