I’m a classical music critic, but thank God we have room in the world for such works of sympathetic purity, of integrity, of gifted phrasing, of honest love of country & not just blind patriotism. How privileged I feel!
She was an inspiration for the soldiers in WW II and her voice has a particular melancholy quality that appeals to one 's emotions. I want her song " We'll meet again " to be played at my funeral service . I am 85 years old and my father served in the Police brigade in North Africa . '
Actually it’s an American song, written by Americans Walter Kent (music) and Nat Burton (lyrics). It was written in 1941 in support of Britain’s fight against the Nazis (as neither Walter or Nat had been to England they were unaware that “bluebirds” were not indigenous to the UK). Sadly the lyricist Nat Burton died before the end of WWII but the song’s composer Walter Kent did make a moving pilgrimage to England at the end of his life, in 1989, to see for himself the white cliffs of Dover.
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 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 Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Nat Burton / Walter Kent

I researched this song after hearing a wardale singer. I was right it did come from England, beautiful song full of hope.

I love the concept, beautiful song, thank you for explaining ❤
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
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

There ain't no bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover.
We got no bluebirds in England......
It is a metaphor for airplanes.
