 Tom was born in E7M1942

With eyes of blue

 His mother took her lBastB B B B

 And his E7Mfather knew that he wasn’t to blame

 But he never quite looked at Tom the same after BthaBt B B B

 And he Erarely spoke about her

 But when he dF♯id

 He said your mother used to say tBhisB B B B

 When the E7Mskies are looking bad my dear

And your heart has lost all it’s hope

 And in the E7Mmorning, I’ll make you F♯up

 some tea and toasBt B B B B

 He said It’s E7Monly polite if I ask you tonight

 Would it be alright, if I could walk you homBe? B B B B

 That night he E7Mtold her of his birth

 He F♯thought about what his mother said about tea and toasBt B B B B

E7MTwo quick years went by

 After E7Mdawn there will be sunshine

And all the dust will go

BSkies will clear my darling

 We'll show thBis baby all the love we know

 And in the E7Mmorning, I’ll make you F♯up

 some tea and toasBt B B B B

 Well he E7Mtook those words and he made them proud

 He worked F♯day after day and hour after hour

 So that G♯mthey could buy a little house on the outside of town

E7MThe little girl grew up and so did they

 They said F♯that they loved each other everyday

 And G♯mforty years later, that brings us to now

 And as they’re E7Mwalking down the street her grip loosens on his hand

 He puts his F♯arm around her side as she falls to the ground

 He hears her G♯mbreathing and that's the only sound

 Her E7Mbody on the floor attracts a worried crowd

 Tears F♯rolls off his face as he says “don’t let go, G♯mnow”

 And he’s E7Msitting by her bed in the hospital

 Their F♯daughter walks in with a family of her G♯mown

 She says “E7Mdad, I don’t know if she can hear you now

 but there’s F♯one thing mum would want you to G♯mknow”

 When the E7Mskies are looking bad my dear

And your heart has lost all it’s hope

 After E7Mdawn there will be sunshine

And all the dust will go

BSkies will clear my darling

 Now it's tBime for you to let go

 And in the E7Mmorning, I’ll make you F♯up

 With some tea and tBoasBt B B B
