"Coming in on a Wing and a Prayer"
Whoops! I didn't read far enough or I would have noticed the above song has already been posted. Sorry.
Here is a song that the British must remember; "The White cliffs of Dover" but did you know this song was very popular in America during WWII?
If I can remember the words my mother use to sing;
There'll be blue birds over the white cliffs of Dover,
Tomorrow when the world is free,
There'll be love and laughter and peace ever after
Tomorrow just you wait and see.
The sheperd will tend his sheep
The valley will bloom again,
And Jimmy will go to sleep
In his own little room again
repeat chorus. |
my mum once had an album called songs of world war 2 sung by warren mitchell
