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
