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 can still 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

There'll be bluebirds over
The White Cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow, just you wait and see

When night shadows fall, I always recall
Out there across the sea
Twilight falling down on a little town
It's fresh in my memory
I hear a 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
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
