Vera Lynn - White Cliffs Of Dover Lyrics

Imagine being born during the First World War, living in the second and is alive to tell the story today. Inspiration

Just love this song- first heard it when Jim Reeves sang

Happy 102 birthday Vera!

Great singer from an era gone happy birthday vera

My beautiful nana sang this to me in her hospital bed as she slowly gave way to dementia. It took her in Feb 2018 she didn't speak to anyone at her bed side I was visiting from my town I moved to. She didn't say anything to me and as soon as I held her hand she started singing this to me. As I said bye to her for the final time she pulled me to her and whispered she loved me and that was it she passed a month or so after

The king never left 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Rule Britannia! Long live the cause of freedom! God save the Queen!

R.I.P. XXX England thanks you for the love and hope that you spread.Thank you.xxx.

I’m seeing the white cliffs of Dover for the first time this Saturday and I had to come and re-listen to this song. It’s what made me interested in seeing them in the first place years ago.

Sidemen video anyone?

OK Justine, you won't be, I hope I'm not. Good God I L O V E this song and I love Vera Lynn. What a fantastic song. My Uncle Steve loved this, he was a medic in Patton's command during WW2.

Please don’t let me be the last comment to this beautiful song😭😭

there's one lady who will be treasured for the joy she gave through her music to so many people all those years ago me as a pensioner now looking back over the years I have to say sometimes a song can transport you back for a while in your youth away from stress and take you places that are too beautiful for words with those you love or just enjoying the inner peace of your thoughts music is the key to life and whatever your thoughts are in this material world we're in, music will always bring people together....your one of those people and we thank you dearly

My father always talked about the popularity of this song when he was in England in WWII. Hearing it brings tears to my eyes.

103 baby

My parents met on V E day. My mum was 18 and my dad was 23 and serving in the Navy.
My mum told me that London was absolutely going crazy that day........total strangers were hugging and dancing in the streets.
I can't even imagine the relief that was felt that finally, after 6 long years, WW2 was over.
London took such a terrible pounding from the bombing raids.
My mum told me that one night she was supposed to attend her friend's birthday party at the local pub, but her mother (my nan) had a bad feeling about it and told her not to go.
That night the pub took a direct hit from a German bomber and everyone inside that pub was killed.......if my mum had gone, she would have been one of those poor souls.
Both my parents are gone now, but I salute them and their generation.........folks were made of strong stuff back then.

Those beautiful cliffs of Dover & the lovely vera Lynn the good old days 🙂

Wow now 102. Loved so much! 💕

Playing this on Brexit Day, knowing yet another European power looking to strip nations of their sovereignty has fallen to the union flag, and freedom!

A tear in my eye .8th July 2019 still listening to this classic.

Nanas funeral song 😢

I am glad that the majority of her generation is not seeing what's happening to the nations of the western world they fought so hard to save.  She's from my parents generation.

What an amazingly beautiful voice

My father, mother, grandfather and grandmother would cry when they heard this song, I know now why. It took me years and countless losses until I understood. I'm 60 now, I want my friends back. They are now forever beyond my reach. I now know what a waste war is.

Thanks Yogscast!

Apartment, fancy homemade dinner, champagne, nice girl, dim lights, candles, romance.

75 years since the D-day invasion,and thank you to all who helped and all the fallen we will never see a generation like them again,love and respect from a British girl ❤️

Beautiful. RIP to all my Vietnam buddies. Till we meet again.

Makes me cry such a Powerful Song.My Grandad was in WW2 .

I've listened to this song more times than I can remember, but this time the tears are running down in my cheeks.

A wonderful song, a wonderful singer.

Rallied the lads it must have very powerful message just you wait and see inspiring and patriotic

I am 18 and love listening to her as my grandad was in the war and I grew up with her

... it is important to keep reminding ourselves of all these brave young people, those of all nations who have sacrificed their youth in the hope of a world without war and oppression, forgetting to kill them once more .. honor and respect ....

This brings me to anger knowing our hero's of the sea, land and air died for us so that we can be free. Our government has aloud Islam to slowly take over our great land, there or mosque up and down this fair Island, sharia is in many of our cities slowly making our great land Islamic, is this our future, do we just let it happen and let our hero's who died for our freedom, die in vain. A new Battle of Britain is about to start. The enemy has quietly entered our land, and they are quietly conquering us.

Have we reached tomorrow yet?

My Dad fought in WW2 (Canada) and he remembered Vera Lynn very well. He;s gone now (1994) but some of the stories he told us about those days will never die.

from my home town east ham 😎

Dame Vera Lynn celebrated her 102nd birthday in March, 2019! Kudos to a beautiful woman!

102 years old!!! Her recording of the White cliffs of Dover gave the World hope, when all seemed hopeless!

I enjoy listening to this song 😍

grace mataafa she’s related to me believe it or not I’m not joking my great nans cousin

@Sam wow 😍

She's really has a lovely voice 😍

one of the best songs

Dame Vera Lynn turned 102 on March 20th...God bless her.

1942 Britain. Fascist and Communist dictatorships have enslaved most of the world. The United Kingdom is the last unconquered Allied country remaining. The democratically elected National Socialist German Workers' Party is relentlessly bombing English cities (the Luftwaffe bombed London more than 70 times). The only silver lining is that the peaceful and prosperous semi-Capitalist Constitutional Republic across the pond has recently joined the war effort in response to Pearl Harbor. Keep this historical context in mind, and then listen to this song (and grok the lyrics).

Happy 102nd birthday to Dame Vera Lynn this 24th of March 2019.

Seit heute ist sie 101 Jahre. 20 März 2019 wurde sie 101 Jahre alt.

I love this song and also I like her because she helped and cheerd the soldiers up and THIS SONG IS AMAZING!

This song more than anything inspired us during the war.

Keep in mind, that she's still alive. What a wonderous generation.

Yeah I was born in 93 so I don’t relate to this song the same

I was born in 2007

'The Orville' Episode 'Deflectors' brought me here....

Tears streaming down my face!

Soon england will be under sharialaw

Enjoying this classic, in 2019. Our brave armed forces fought all through WW2, yet we ended up with the awful, mongrel, society we have today.

tough for democrats

I viewed the White Cliffs of Dover from the flight deck of the USS RANDOLPH in July of 1966. I remember it well.

101 years old, still beautiful music .... amazing how you can transport back.

The war was over almost a decade before I was born. Why does this song always make me cry?

2019 and we are told we cannot survive without the EU ruling us, how many young men that fought in 2 world wars would be rolling in there graves if they knew our great nation was to be defeated politically by the Germans.

In the end, it was the Muslims that conquered GB without firing a shot.

🇬🇧

So great souvenirs to me adore this ever will stand time ever thank you

*AND LIKE THIS IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MEET VERA LYNN*

*IF YOU LIKE VERA LYNN, THEN LIKE THE COMMENT*

A voice from eternity. pure perfection.

Straordinaria...bella.♥️♥️

True British. When women were women and men were men.

SERIA UMA MÚSICA DELA QUE ABRE O FILME THE WALL ?

Since I've been in my 30's my music has changed Vera's music relaxes me.

Being English now is racist 😢😢😢

101 years!! Woah!!

I love Vera Lynn. She has a beautiful voice

Sure hope someone uses this recording in a popular movie.  "Shape of Water" has introduced thousands of young people to Vera Lynn's version of "You'll Never Know."

There is no song like this, as we continue to have wars all over the globe.
This song touched so many hearts, still tugs at mine, and still the fights continue. We humans learned nothing.

0:01-0:11 Can someone tell me songs which sound like this

I’m so glad I was born in dover

respect always...what a voice and what a strong woman she was... amazing

Such a sad song.

Toda una hermosa tonada sobre los acantilados de Dover de parte de Vera Lynn.

A song of freedom, and of the resistance to ,and the defeat of, evil.

There are blue birds there now. We dont need another war. Just to see blue birds again. Marlene Detricht was much more moving, in my opinion

This sounds weird but my mum and dad were living next to very lynn it is not fake

Y does “dream a little dream” have more views than this

I saw England's amazing Queen Mother singing along to this. Perfect pairing.

One day we'll all be free! Keep praying for freedom and human rights all over the world! No more feminism, nazism, slavery, or any other type of oppression! Have hope and keep up the fight guys!

My beloved late Grandmother used to sing this to me as a child when I was upset or couldn't sleep...I am 40 years old and knew this song from my grandmother only before I came here and looked it up about 3 years ago.

Played this song and sang it to my Nana as she was passing away. Beautiful song
