Four simple words, but to a nation in lockdown they offer comfort and hope. When the Queen assured us in a public address this week, 'We will meet again', she was quoting from Dame Vera Lynn's most iconic wartime song. In doing so, Her Majesty gave us reason to soldier on in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, with the promise of brighter days and reunions with our loved ones to come. At her home in East Sussex, Dame Vera, who turned 103 last month, listened attentively to Her Majesty's TV broadcast. The two women have a warm affiliation stretching back almost 80 years: Da

Today, as it surges up the charts again — it is currently at No 18 on the iTunes chart — it looks set to deliver Dame Vera another success, its message of hope as pertinent as ever.

When do we celebrate victory over the Russian communist empire?

The victory that GHWB and Clinton squandered?

Just for a while dear we must part,
Don’t let our parting upset you,
I’ll not forget you sweetheart

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 as you always do
Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away

So will you please say hello to the folks I know
tell them I wont be long,
They’ll be happy to know that as you saw me go
I was singing this song

we’ll meet again, don’t know where Don’t know when
but I know we’ll meet again some sunny day

After the rain comes a rainbow you’ll see the rain go
Never fear
we too must wait for tomorrow goodbye to sorrow My dear

we’ll meet again don’t know where don’t no when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day,
Keep smiling through just as 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

we’ll meet again don’t no
When don’t know where but I know we’ll meet again some sunny day

When she ‘ll yell “What the Hell
let’s go find a motel”,
that’s amore...

This is my favorite Vera Lynn song - superior, IMO, to the White Cliffs of Dover.

The 75th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall is in 2056.

The 75th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany is this year.

“The victory that GHWB and Clinton squandered?”

I remember Clinton making a government to government “loan” of $75B to Russia.

I always tear up when I hear her sing that song.

Here's an American version:

I also like this one:

When I hear that I immediately think of the closing scenes of the great movie “Dr Strangelove” :)

And here’s the ironically sardonic version.
