The White Cliffs Of Dover - Vera Lynn

I am glad I listened to this just now. My grandpa on my mom's side was a veteran in WW II and had died about 13 months ago. I loved all the stories he told when he was in the service in 1945. This song has made me think of him and dearly miss him.

every remembrance sunday , where ever i am and when the 11 oclock silence comes i always stand for two minutes silence in memoriam for my grandads and grandmas who came through both wars and made a difference to a lot of lives ,and also as a mark of respect for others too,thank you for this

yeh thats wat my history teacher said.

Tzimmy will go to sleeeeeeeeep .... just you wait ....and ...seee

It all makes sense. If the blue birds are the RAF, it is a song of prayer that they return because most bombing runs during WWII were at night and would return by dawn. (tomorrow). My opinion only.

This song always makes me cry.
Love to listen to it though. Great !

Something about this song really touches me.

The bluebirds are the bluebirds of happiness because WWII has ended. She is looking forward to the end of hostilities. Listen to the words and apply them to the history of the time.
