We'll Meet Again: The Very Best Of Vera

Vera Lynn We'll Meet Again: The Very Best Of Vera Lyrics
1.(There'll Be Blue Birds Over) The White Cliffs Of Dover

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 sky's
I remember well as the shadows fell
the light of hope in thier eyes
and though I'm far away I still can hear them say
Sun's 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.

3.As Time Goes By

Lyricist:Hupfeld Herman

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

And when two lovers woo
They still say I love you
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs

Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
Man must have his mate
That no one can deny

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

5.Faraway Places

Faraway places
With strange soundin' names
Faraway over the sea
Those faraway places
With the strange soundin' names
Are callin', callin' me

Goin' to China
Or maybe Siam
I want to see for myself
Those faraway places
I've been readin' about
In a book that I took from a shelf

I start getting restless
Whenever I hear
The whistle of a train
I pray for the day
I can get underway
And look for those castles in Spain

They call me a dreamer
Well, maybe I am
But I know that I'm burnin' to see
Those faraway places
With the strange soundin' names
Callin', callin' me...


6.Harbour Lights

Lyricist:Wilhelm Grosz, Jimmy Kennedy, Hugh Williams

One evening long ago
A big ship was leaving
One evening long ago
Lover's were graving

A crimson sun went down
The lights began to glow
Across the harbour

One evening long ago
I saw the harbour lights
They only told me we were parting
The same old harbour lights
That once brought you to me

I watched the harbour lights
How could I help if tears were starting?
Goodbye to tender nights
Beside the silver sea

I long to hold you near
And kiss you just once more
But you were on the ship
And I was on the shore

Now I know lonely life
While, all the while my heart is whispering
Some other harbour lights
Will steal your love from me

Now I know lonely life
While, all the while my heart is whispering
Some other harbour lights
Will steal your love from me


7.It's A Lovely Day Tomorrow

Lyricist:Irving Berlin

It's a lovely day tomorrow
Tomorrow is a lovely day
Come and feast your tear dimmed eyes
On tomorrow's clear blue skies

If today your heart is weary
If ev'ry little thing looks gray
Just forget your troubles and learn to say
Tomorrow is a lovely day

When I was young
My mother would watch me
On the days when it would rain
She'd see me so unhappy

My nose against
The dripping windowpane
And I would hear
Her singing this refrain


8.If You Love Me

If the sun should tumble from the sky
If the sea should suddenly run dry
If you love me, really love me
Let it happen, I won't care
If it seems that everything is lost
I should smile and never count the cost
If you love me, really love me
Let it happen, darling, I won't care

Shall I catch a shooting star?
Shall I bring it where you are?
If you want me to, I will
You can set me any task
I'll do anything you ask
If you'll only love me still

When at last our life on earth is through
I shall share eternity with you
If you love me, really love me
Then whatever happens, I won't care

Then whatever happens, I won't care


9.When You Hear Big Ben


10.The Loveliest Night Of The Year

When you are in love
It's the loveliest night of the year
Stars twinkle above
And you almost can touch them from here

Words fall into rhyme
Anytime you are holding me near
When you are in love
It's the loveliest night of the year

Waltzing along in the blue
Like a breeze drifting over the sand
Thrilled by the wonder of you
And the wonderful touch of your hand

And my heart starts to beat

Like a child when a birthday is near
So kiss me, my sweet
It's the loveliest night of the year

Waltzing along in the blue
Like a breeze drifting over the sand
Thrilled by the wonder of you
And the wonderful touch of your hand

And my heart starts to beat
Like a child when a birthday is near
So kiss me, my sweet
It's the loveliest night of the year


11.Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Goodbye

Lyricist:Phil Park, Harry Parr Davies

Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye
Cheerio, here I go on my way

Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye
With a cheer, not a tear, make it gay

Give me a smile, I can keep for a while
In my heart while I'm away

Till we meet once again you and I
Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye

Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye
Cheerio, here I go, on my way

Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye
With a cheer, not a tear, make it gay

Give me a smile, I can keep for a while
In my heart while I'm away

Till we meet once again you and I
Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye


12.Half As Much - Isle Of Innisfree - You Belong To Me

If you love me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
I know that I would never feel this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you
I've met some folks who say that I'm a dreamer,
And I've no doubt there's truth in what they say,
But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer
When all the things he loves are far away.
And precious things are dreams unto an exile.
They take him o'er the land across the sea --
Especially when it happens he's an exile
From that dear lovely Isle of Inisfree.
See the pyramids around the Nile
Watch the sun rise
From the tropic isle
Just remember darling
All the while
You belong to me
See the market place
In old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember
When a dream appears
You belong to me

And I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too

Fly the ocean
In a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember till
You're home again
You belong to me


13.Up The Wooden Hill To Bedfordshire

Up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire
Heading for the land of dreams
When I look back to those happy childhood days
Like yesterday it seems
It was grand my mother held my hand
Daddy was the old gee gee
The old wooden hill was the old wooden stairs
and Bedfordshire of course where I knelt to say my prayers
Climbing up the wooden hill toBedfordshire
They were happy happy days for me.

Last night I dreamt about the place where I was born
The village school the winding lane the fields of waving corn
Seems that dream brought memories to me
My childhood days in fancieness I could see
When the sun had gone to rest and I was tired of play
Dad would put me on his back and then to me he'd say

15.Somewhere Along The Way - Here In My Heart - Let The Rest Of The
World Go By


16.I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles

I'm dreaming dreams,
I'm scheming schemes,
I'm building castles high.
They're born anew,
Their days are few,
Just like a sweet butterfly.
And as the daylight is dawning,
They come again in the morning.

I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.
They fly so high,
Nearly reach the sky,
Then like my dreams,
They fade and die.
Fortune's always hiding,
I've looked everywhere,
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.

When cattle creep,
When I'm asleep,
To lands of hope I stray.
Then at daybreak,
When I awake,
My bluebird flutters away.
Happiness new seemed so near me,
Happiness come forth and heal me.

I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.
They fly so high,
Nearly reach the sky,
Then like my dreams,
They fade and die.
Fortune's always hiding,
I've looked everywhere,
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.


17.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.

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.
