Tom was born in 1942 |
| [00:02.70] |
With eyes of blue |
| [00:03.86] |
And the doctors said that his birth was far too fast |
| [00:07.38] |
|
| [00:11.72] |
His heart stopped twice |
| [00:13.04] |
But yet he survived |
| [00:14.44] |
As he took his first breathe |
| [00:15.99] |
His mother took her last |
| [00:18.73] |
|
| [00:21.52] |
And his father knew that he wasn't to blame |
| [00:25.01] |
But he never quite looked at Tom the same after that |
| [00:28.74] |
|
| [00:32.70] |
And he rarely spoke about her |
| [00:35.32] |
But when he did |
| [00:36.36] |
He said your mother used to say this |
| [00:39.51] |
|
| [00:43.85] |
"When the skies are looking bad my dear |
| [00:46.36] |
And your heart has lost all it's hope |
| [00:48.55] |
|
| [00:49.14] |
After dawn there will be sunshine |
| [00:51.41] |
And all the dust will go |
| [00:53.69] |
|
| [00:54.57] |
Skies will clear my darling |
| [00:56.70] |
I'll wake up with the one I love the most |
| [00:59.23] |
|
| [00:59.57] |
And in the morning, I'll make you up |
| [01:01.78] |
|
| [01:04.34] |
With some tea and toast" |
| [01:06.09] |
|
| [01:10.31] |
When we met through a friend |
| [01:11.95] |
Who introduced them |
| [01:13.17] |
The first thing Tom said was would you like to dance? |
| [01:16.50] |
|
| [01:20.66] |
They moved with each other and when the music got slower |
| [01:25.32] |
He said don't let go of my hand |
| [01:27.94] |
|
| [01:31.33] |
He said It's only polite if I ask you tonight |
| [01:34.37] |
Would it be alright, if I could walk you home? |
| [01:37.72] |
|
| [01:42.39] |
That night he told of of his birth |
| [01:43.88] |
And said when it hurt |
| [01:44.99] |
He thought about what his mother said about tea and toast |
| [01:48.27] |
|
| [01:53.16] |
Two quick years went by |
| [01:55.24] |
They were side by side |
| [01:56.63] |
|
| [01:58.45] |
And without a plan, they conceived a little child |
| [02:01.73] |
|
| [02:03.42] |
He said women I love you and this you know |
| [02:06.19] |
But I only have enough for our food and clothes |
| [02:09.21] |
But I love you and this baby |
| [02:10.52] |
Until the day that I die |
| [02:13.08] |
|
| [02:14.09] |
She said we'll take care of this little life |
| [02:16.68] |
And we'll fall in love with her baby blue eyes |
| [02:19.95] |
And we'll be alright from some advice that I know |
| [02:23.72] |
|
| [02:24.95] |
She said I never got to meet her |
| [02:27.12] |
But if I did, I'm sure your mother would have said this |
| [02:31.52] |
|
| [02:35.58] |
"When the skies are looking bad my dear |
| [02:38.41] |
|
| [02:38.67] |
And your heart has lost all it's hope |
| [02:40.49] |
|
| [02:41.20] |
After dawn there will be sunshine |
| [02:43.16] |
|
| [02:43.59] |
And all the dust will go |
| [02:45.79] |
|
| [02:46.16] |
Skies will clear my darling |
| [02:48.61] |
|
| [02:48.91] |
We'll show this baby all the love we know |
| [02:51.07] |
|
| [02:51.43] |
And in the morning, I'll make you up |
| [02:53.69] |
|
| [02:55.21] |
With some tea and toast" |
| [02:57.91] |
|
| [03:02.22] |
Well he took those words |
| [03:03.77] |
And he made them proud |
| [03:05.01] |
He worked day after day |
| [03:06.39] |
And hour after hour |
| [03:07.84] |
So that they could buy a little house on the outside of town |
| [03:11.49] |
|
| [03:12.85] |
The little girl grew up and so did they |
| [03:15.31] |
They said that they loved each other everyday |
| [03:18.17] |
And forty years later, that brings us to now |
| [03:22.05] |
|
| [03:23.42] |
And as they're walking down the street |
| [03:25.17] |
Her grip loosens on his hand |
| [03:26.47] |
He puts his arm around her side as she falls to the ground |
| [03:28.84] |
He hears her breathing and that's the only sound |
| [03:32.39] |
|
| [03:34.16] |
Her body on the floor attracts a worried crowd |
| [03:36.88] |
Tears rolls off his face as he says "don't let go, now" |
| [03:41.11] |
|
| [03:44.53] |
And he's sitting by her bed in the hospital ward |
| [03:47.57] |
Their daughter walks in with a family of her own |
| [03:52.08] |
|
| [03:54.72] |
She says "dad, I don't know if she can hear you now |
| [03:58.17] |
But there's one thing mum would want you to know" |
| [04:02.08] |
|
| [04:06.36] |
When the skies are looking bad my dear |
| [04:08.86] |
And your heart has lost all it's hope |
| [04:11.14] |
|
| [04:11.68] |
After dawn there will be sunshine |
| [04:13.78] |
|
| [04:14.34] |
And all the dust will go |
| [04:16.13] |
|
| [04:16.58] |
Skies will clear my darling |
| [04:19.27] |
|
| [04:19.63] |
Now it's time for you to let go |
| [04:22.06] |
|
| [04:22.32] |
I go wake you up in the mornin' |
| [04:25.36] |
|
| [04:26.83] |
with some tea and toast |
| [04:29.08] |
|
