When They Sound the Last 'All Clear'

by Vera Lynn

Because today is Veteran's Day (aka Remembrance Day) I've decided to post this WWII era song. I may not agree with the politics behind some conflicts but I'd like to thank all the veterans who were willing to sacrifice their lives for their country.



LYRICS:

When they sound the last all-clear
How happy, my darling, we'll be
When they turn up the lights
And the dark lonely nights
Are only a memory

Never more we'll be apart
Always together, sweetheart
For the peace-bells will ring
And the whole world will sing
When they sound the last all-clear

We've got our troubles and we've got our cares
But as long as we keep smiling through
There'll come a day
When the clouds roll away
And the sun will be shining anew

When they sound the last all-clear
How happy, my darling, we'll be
When they turn up the lights
And the dark lonely nights
Are only a memory

Never more we'll be apart
Always together, sweetheart
For the peace-bells will ring
And the whole world will sing
When they sound the last all-clear
