Vera Lynn
There’ll Always Be an England (1962)
[Intro]
I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen
I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen
May this fair land we love so well
In Dignity and freedom dwell
The worlds may change and go awry
While there is still one voice to cry
[Verse 1]
There'll always be an England
While there's a country lane
Wherever there's a cottage small
Beside a field of grain
[Verse 2]
There'll always be an England
While there's a busy street
Wherever there's a turning wheel
A million marching feet
[Bridge]
Red, white and blue, what does it mean to you?
Surely you're proud, shout it aloud, Britons awake!
The Empire too, we can depend on you
Freedom remains, these are the chains nothing can break
[Verse 3]
There'll always be an England
And England shall be free
If England means as much to you
As England means to me
[Bridge]
Red, white and blue, what does it mean to you?
Surely you're proud, shout it aloud, Britons awake!
The Empire too, we can depend on you
Freedom remains, these are the chains nothing can break
[Verse 3]
There'll always be an England
And England shall be free
If England means as much to you
As England means to me
