Keep Smiling Through

The Army, The Navy and The Air Force
 
The Army, the Navy and The Air Force
Have made old England’s name
Our soldiers, our sailors and our airmen
Have always played the game
They’re steady, they’re true and always ready
They fight for you and me
The Army, the Navy and the Air Force
Leading us to Victory
 
Repeat
 
Yours
 
Yours till the stars lose their glory
Yours till the birds fail to sing
Yours to the end of life’s story
This pledge to you dear
I bring
 
Yours in the grey of December
Here or on far distant shores
I’ve never loved anyone
The way I love you
How could I
When I was born to be
Just yours
 
Lili Marlene
 
Underneath the lantern, by the barrack gate
Darling I remember the way you use to wait
‘Twas there that you whispered tenderly
That you loved me, you’d always be
My Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili Marlene
 
Time would come for roll call, time for us to part
Darling I’d caress you and press you to my heart
And there neath that far off lantern light
I’d hold you tight, we’d kiss goodnight
My Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili Marlene
 
White Cliffs of Dover
 
Chorus
There’ll be blue birds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow
Just you wait and see
Repeat
 
I’ll never forget the people I met
Braving those angry skies
I remember well as the shadows fell
The light of hope in their eyes
 
Chorus
 
 
We’ll Meet Again
 
Chorus
We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day
 
Keep smiling through, just like you always do
Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away
 
So, will you please say hello to the folks that I know
Tell them I won’t be long
They’ll be happy to know that as you saw me go
I was singing this song
 
Chorus
