This is another song my beloved diana loved it and so did i. This is a war time song WWII and beautiful. Now I list my diana partner of more then 68 years. Lovely song. God bless them both.
When my mom learned that my dad had been captured during WWII, one of the things she did was go to an arcade downtown that had a little recording booth and record this song with no accompaniment. She kept it as a keepsake for the rest of her life. She played it for him when the War was over and he came home. I discovered it in their large record collection and played it, a few times. She really had a beautiful voice, and I could hear her emotion. The recording wasn't very good quality, and unfortunately over the years it became unplayable on any turntables. I had tried to record it onto tape, but that didn't last, either. I'm not sure what happened to the recording as I grew up and got on with my life. I couldn't find it among my parents' belongings when they passed.
My Mom is reading my Dad's letters from 1943. He was overseas in the Airforce. He mentioned this song in his letter.This is the first time I heard this song. It is playing now as my Mom opens each letter. ❤️I
My mum sang this song in a talent show held at Butlins, Skegness in the late 1960s. It brings back such wonderful memories to me. Whenever I visit her grave I always gently sing this to her and like now the tears well up inside me. RIP you wonderful being, I miss you everyday mum xxx
My dad was a WWII vet. He had so many of the 1940s records. I grew up listening to those songs. I'm 76 now. Both my parents are gone now as are so many of their generation. Their generation's music still lives on.💖
These old 1940's songs from the WW2 years were wonderful. My boyfriend left me in 1967, drafted into the Vietnam war. He did return unharmed thank God however our relationship wasn't like it was when he left. I know I used to write to him a lot but I never found the words to tell him how much I loved and missed him. Listening to these old songs now makes me sad to hear the words I could have written to him. Perhaps we would have been together after that war. He married and was married for over 40 years and I'm sure he was happy. He passed almost 3 years ago. He was my first kiss and first love. 💔
What An sad and beautiful story. So sorry for your first love and you. Thanks for shering. Hope you see him and you be together again, some day over the rainbow.
Watching in November 2024 at age 86, remembering hearing her on the radio as a child and hearing news of brave men and women fighting for freedom. They gave us many years of democracy. Bless them.
My deceased Mother "sang this to me" in a dream last night. It has always been a top favorite of mine since I first heard it many years ago in "Hello Frisco." I'm 73!
My husband who passed away last month and I would always dance to this song whenever we heard it. Even when he was in his wheelchair, we'd still "chair dance" to it. We were both '50's babies, but this was one of our favorites.
I'm almost 73, and I play this song on trombone a lot... Bravo for you and you're husband for "chair dancing" to it. Sorry for your loss. The two of you enjoyed beautiful music together and will dance together again, without the chairs.
My 96 years old grandma always requests me to play this favorite song hers. As of writing, she is beside me singing. She never gets tired of listening to this timeless song fr ngl.
Go back to London during the 40/50/60s and walk in any side street pub and you'd hear this tune being played on a piano to the whole bar joining in the chorus. How times have changed. What a classic.
My parents are the WWII generation so I heard bits and pieces of this music growing up and I've always loved it. Standards like this one were covered by so many, especially here in the USA. But this woman's delicate voice is the one that always brings me to tears, especially when I consider what must have been happening just outside the recording studio in 1943 in the UK and the tough times my parents' generation endured.
De St Aberdeen, Scotland...We had shipyard and munition factories, plus we were in the north east, the North Sea was our doorstep. Our Beach was heavily guarded!..I was a kid then, I still remember the bombing though. Hope never to be in that situation again. Cheers from 🏴🇨🇦
De St Yes, Toronto, Home of the Blue Jays and the Awesome Raptors!! I am used to the winters now, they are not as bad as they used to be! I prefer the summer. My sister and I used to visit California a lot, I had 4 brothers living there, I also have retired u.s. military in my family, they are in ElPaso. I am keeping up to date on your news, stay safe! 🤗🏴🇨🇦👍🏻
Mom, wherever you are, I know this one must've been playing on the radio a lot when Dad was in the army. I don't even know if you liked it back then, but now that you're gone, it really gets me. I love you and I miss you.
I remember my Mom would sing songs when driving in the car and that song was always her favorite Love and miss you. Happy Mothers Day in Heaven. When I sing the song I'll be thinking of you
Mom just passed, she was 97.Every morning of her life she sang this with her beloved Pappy. He wrote the words down as he got older. She gave it to me last week. I miss you already mom.
My mom loved this song - she said it reminded her of my Dad. He was very good looking and when he came back from the war in 1946 she saw him come into the office. He was the new BOSS. His gaze met hers for a second - she looked away & thought to herself - don't be stupid- how could such a sophisticated gentleman be interested in a girl from a farm. Wasn't long after that encounter he invited her out to dine & dance. Life was beautiful then. I miss them both sooo much 😢. He really was a wonderful gentleman- business like but caring. He died when I was 11 - my Mom educated us both - they had started a mining supply business in the Goldfields of South Africa.
I cried all the way through this wonderful song. So many memories. This astonishing artist is 97 now. I am so grateful for her inspiring music. My beloved father was killed in the service in 1943 (when I was 10) and music helped me to survive.
there's a particular line that always gets me. How i feel about my husband exactly. The whole song is relatable but he hasn't gone away in years. Ever since I moved to be with him. Now he's my husband. " if there is some other way to prove that I love you, I swear I don't know how."
My Grandma has Alzheimer's disease and it's been hard on our family... this is one of the songs that she remembers every single word to. I'll always love this song for that.
Then she passed away in 2020, at 103. She was born the year the USA entered WW1, lived through prohibition, the depression, Pearl Harbor and WW2, the birth and emergence of rock-n-roll, the 60s, Ayatollah, Disco, the rise of video games (all the consoles from Magnavox Odyssey, to Playstation4 and Nintendo Switch), the internet, 9/11, the first black president Obama, trump and finally Covid19 It's honestly kind of mind-blowing..
I am hear because I fell in love with Vera Lynn while searching for songs to sing and record for a present for my grandparents. Now that my grandma passed away on 05-09-2015, the day before mothers day, I haven been finding all sorts of older gems that I absolutely adore. I can't wait to sing them for her, We'll meet again, some sunny day.
I just turned 60 and loving this music! I could just imagine mom and pop dancing to this but they have both passed on. So much good music then...Thank you
My grandad brought me up on the golden oldies like this one so many happy memories of a bygone era he has been gone now for 15 years and I miss him more now than the day he went thank you for this beautiful 🫶🏼
You'll never know just how much I miss you, You'll never know just how much I care. And if I tried I still couldn't hide My love for you You ought to know For haven't I told you so A million or more times? You went away and my heart went with you I speak your name in my every prayer If there is some other way To prove that I love you I swear I don't know how You'll never know if you don't know now. You'll never know just how much I love you, You'll never know just how much I care. And if I tried I still couldn't hide My love for you You ought to know For haven't I told you so A million or more times? You went away and my heart went with you I speak your name in my every prayer If there is some other way To prove that I love you I swear I don't know how You'll never know if you don't know now.
That's a pity mike. Songs of yesteryears have meanings. It gets to us. It either make us cry laugh sad and happy. Listening to songs like this is part of history. Losing this precious gems is like losing a part of you. Youre mother is also special woman you seldom find this days
Oh gosh, that movie. I saw it a few weeks ago. They used this song so much! And that clip on the TV of Alice Faye singing this was surprising to me! I had no idea she sung it!!!! I looked it up and I THINK Alice Faye was the first to sing it... I could be wrong though.
Have been singing this song all week; remembering my Mother playing it on the piano and singing it with my Father. It holds a special place in my heart for a man who left and never came back.
I grew up listening to records of all the 1930s, 1940s, and some 50s when I was living in the Canal Zone from 1955-1968--my father who was born in PA knew loved all his records-- now that I'm 70 - I wish I had those records --brings back wonderful memories
I'm not ashamed to admit that "The Shape of Water" sent me here b/c how else are we going to broaden our horizons? Some of the very best & most romantic music I've ever heard has come from the show, "Call the Midwife". I may not have been born until years later, but I still recognize a TRUE love song when I hear it...
nato nel 1934 a 10 anni il mio cuore spasimava ascoltando questa canzone nel film e mi venivano le lacrime agli occhi....bramando già l'amore insito. Born in Egypt I heard in the movie this song...today I am back in the same mood 75 years ago
I love you mother Fely I used to hear from you,silently sing this song when you are doing your gawaing Bahay po your birthday is February 06,1927 po Ikaw po ay 95 years old na po .salamat po sa alaala po. Love you po Nanay Fely♥️❤️♥️♥️
Brasil. 21/05/2020, 17:49 pm . Hoje ouvindo essa linda música para me desviar a atenção da Pandemia que está levando milhares que gostavam dessa melodia
What a time, what a grand time in history with so much war, despair and yet the human hope came through in some of the most beautiful music ever written. thank you to all who dreamed, fought, hoped, sorrowed, wrote and sang. Stephen King
It was the sob in the voice at a time in history when so many were in tears. A voice far more mature than I believe she was, having begun her career in her late teens and knocking them out.
A wartime favorite. She crafted her songs to provide a reminder that loveliness was still possible even in war. That message gave us the strength to go on fighting.
this was my grandmas favorite song. she died last year. Alzheimer's disease. this was the only thing she remembered. she didn't even remembered her husband
Today would have been my mother's 99th birthday and I am really missing her. She was a part of "the Greatest Generation" and sang all of the wonderful songs of "The Great American Songbook" around the house. As I read all of the comments below, I am so touched. The comments are so sentimental and makes me grateful that we were all the children of the wonderful WWII generation. The composers of these songs as well as the lyricists were brilliant. The lyricists were "poets", writing words which expressed undying love and waiting to see their loved ones whom they miss so much. Vera Lynn sang with so much feeling. I think of today's young people who are now the same age that the majority of the soldiers were in WWII. The WWII families had no idea if their sons, husbands, sweethearts or brothers were alive or dead and had no idea of where they might be. The families were scared to death all the time that they might receive "the dreaded telegram" telling them that their son was either dead or missing. Today's (especially young) people think that it is terrible if someone doesn't reply to their text in 5 minutes. They wouldn't understand the beauty of these songs because they didn't go through the Depression as most of the WWII generation did. They are not tough as the WWII generation was and there is no way we could have won WWII without these tough soldiers. God bless all of them and God bless the wonderful songwriters and the singers (especially the great Vera Lynn) who helped us survive the War.
Vera Lynn, my all time favorite singer. I'm glad to see new movies are bringing in new listeners. Her voice is one of the best. She deserves this recognition before she passes. For those who don't know, this amazing woman is still alive. Born in 1917, and now 101 years old. A true legend.
You'll never know just how much I miss you You'll never know just how much I care And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you You ought to know, for haven't I told you so A million or more times? You went away and my heart went with you I speak your name in my ev'ry prayer If there is some other way to prove that I love you I swear I don't know how You'll never know if you don't know now You said good-bye, no stars in the sky refuse to shine Take it from me, it's no fun to be alone With moonlight and memories I speak your name in my ev'ry prayer If there is some other way to prove that I love you I swear I don't know how You'll never know if you don't know now You'll never know if you don't know now
my gran used to sing it to my granda, still get goosebumps when i hear it, vera lynn sounded amazing but my gran sang it so beautifully and heartfelt x
Ian L.Moore I grew up in WW2 listening to Vera, loved all her songs, she was an inspiration to our U.K and other soldiers. Her voice was angelic!🏴🇬🇧🇨🇦❤️💐
I didn't know this song was about going away to war. An elderly lady sings this beautifully in a nursing home I play guitar in. Up to now I always thought the person in the song just went away as is the routine practice of today's relationships, lol. But heading off to war it brought a tear to my eye. It expresses the desperation of those waiting for them to come home and wanting them to know they were loved.
I always loved this song, it made me really happy to hear it in The Shape of Water. I love Guillermo del Toro's films. It was well deserving of the Oscar
I'm 53 my parents got married to this song imagine in this country United Kingdom if anything unfortunate happened to Vera Lynn my parents went through the Second World War my parents my parents adopted me when they were older this music I grew up on and Judy Garland I cannot believe it going to be a hundred that means you're virtually the same age as the Queen thank you so much for you done for this country your voice and you'll sing saved this country Grant he did you actually do the Battle of Britain but you gave us the confidence to do it thank you Daman Vera Lynn thank you again take care bye bye
Reminds me of my mom. She used to sing this when I was a young boy. I'm now a grandfather.

Oh man, that's heavy...

This is a war time song WWII and beautiful.
Now I list my diana partner of more then 68 years.
Lovely song.
God bless them both.
I am 22 and I love this era❤️

I'm just looking at some golden oldies I absolutely love the music from years ago I'm 73 now

+Mike Smith What a wonderful story, Mike.
What keeps the great things alive is having memories and sharing them with others. Even if the recording has gone bad, its effects are to stay.
Mike Smith Such a touching story, dear Mike!!! Thank you for sharing it to us :-)
Mike Smith I know how you must feel Mike my father recorded a V disc for my Mother before he went overseas . Lost to time now
relaxing and lovely

RIP. 103, what an age. Just imagine the life and memories she had...
could you imagine just sitting and talking with her?
She prolly had more knowledge & experience than most people would have in 2 lifetimes
My deceased Mother "sang this to me" in a dream last night. It has always been a top favorite of mine since I first heard it many years ago in "Hello Frisco." I'm 73!
How lovely x
I play and sing these songs to my wife of 63 years, in Gods care Feb. I adore you and will continue todo so
My husband who passed away last month and I would always dance to this song whenever we heard it. Even when he was in his wheelchair, we'd still "chair dance" to it. We were both '50's babies, but this was one of our favorites.
+Patty Cooper
me too patty miss hubby so much...made me cry
Patty Cooper sorry to hear about your husband. Great Song
Patty Cooper I know it's been a while but I am so sorry for your loss 💜💜💜
Your story moved me to tears.

I also never get tired of hearing this song. this song belongs to every generation for eternity. ❤
Go back to London during the 40/50/60s and walk in any side street pub and you'd hear this tune being played on a piano to the whole bar joining in the chorus. How times have changed. What a classic.
I was singing this song while doing my dishes in my kitchen ... wonderful!
This song will be sung in UK as long as we remember WWII
If only we can do that again, even if it is just for a day
Just dreaming would be enough!
Patrick Martin I wish i could have lived then. im stuck in the 40s and i was born in 73.

Great vocalist ww11 Vera Lynn
It’s all the love she has that’s keeping her alive
And now in Covid19 2020
I cried all the way through this wonderful song. So many memories. This astonishing artist is 97 now. I am so grateful for her inspiring music. My beloved father was killed in the service in 1943 (when I was 10) and music helped me to survive.
Im sorry for your lost :(
Marly Harris, I hope you are still alive and going strong.

A song that's as relevant today as it was way back during WW2 .
It was my moms favorite song for the man she truly loved world war two affected all men and women
The greatest generation was also responsible for the greatest music.
Completely agree!
“You went away & my heart went with you”such lovely words.
I was about 7years old when I first heard Vera sing this
I use to sing this to husband a Vet of WWII. We both loved Vera Lynn.
My mum used to sing us to sleep when we were kids thru the 50s & 60s with this.. She's still with us, but hasn't sung it for nearly 50 years.
there's a particular line that always gets me. How i feel about my husband exactly. The whole song is relatable but he hasn't gone away in years. Ever since I moved to be with him. Now he's my husband.
" if there is some other way to prove that I love you, I swear I don't know how."

This 62 year old has Loved Vera Lynn since my mid 20's. Classic Voice of a Bygone Era.
My grandpa sang this song to my grandma all the time. I'm always reminded of them both whenever I listen to this song.
My Grandma has Alzheimer's disease and it's been hard on our family... this is one of the songs that she remembers every single word to. I'll always love this song for that.
Harkens back to the hellish days of WWII!
Memorable songs that left an indelible mark never to be forgotten!
She is 101 now and her songs still get me.
Three cheers for Dame Vera Lynn.
Then she passed away in 2020, at 103.
She was born the year the USA entered WW1, lived through prohibition, the depression, Pearl Harbor and WW2, the birth and emergence of rock-n-roll, the 60s, Ayatollah, Disco, the rise of video games (all the consoles from Magnavox Odyssey, to Playstation4 and Nintendo Switch), the internet, 9/11, the first black president Obama, trump and finally Covid19 It's honestly kind of mind-blowing..
I always remember this playing on the radio and Mom singing along. Although I was very little, I remember many things during the war years.
Just popped into my head today. my mom's favorite song. RIP mom
I sing this song 24/7. Though I love Alice Faye and all, this verison is better in my opinion !
I am hear because I fell in love with Vera Lynn while searching for songs to sing and record for a present for my grandparents.

My grandad brought me up on the golden oldies like this one so many happy memories of a bygone era he has been gone now for 15 years and I miss him more now than the day he went thank you for this beautiful 🫶🏼
You'll never know just how much I miss you,
You'll never know just how much I care.
And if I tried
I still couldn't hide
My love for you
You ought to know
For haven't I told you so
A million or more times?
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
If there is some other way
To prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now.
You'll never know just how much I love you,
You'll never know just how much I care.
And if I tried
I still couldn't hide
My love for you
You ought to know
For haven't I told you so
A million or more times?
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
If there is some other way
To prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now.
Gracias me amigo nuevo.
Unforgetable wow
Thank you for the lyrics of this song
Its a very very nice song unforgettable it goes deep into my heart
Thank you thank you very much for this song I keep on playing it over and over again
My Mom loved this song! She sang it to my Dad every chance she got when they were dancing to it.
Who is listening to this in October 2024 I love this song
Me! Timelessly beautiful; my favorite song ever...
Én, kedvelem a régi slágerereket, jobbak mint az újak...
Another beautiful song by the grear Harry Warren (Guarino), who said that nowadays they're giving out Oscars for songs that are never heard
Salvatore Guaragna, aka Harry Warren
Her vibrato is exquisite, and the orchestra has a comfortingly rich tone and arrangement.
Our Mother sang this as we 5 kids were young and we so remember her beautiful singing.She would be 100 today!
....im here because i wanted to listen to vera lynn ......
That's a pity mike. Songs of yesteryears have meanings. It gets to us. It either make us cry laugh sad and happy. Listening to songs like this is part of history. Losing this precious gems is like losing a part of you. Youre mother is also special woman you seldom find this days

The sweet old man singing to his wife of 73 years brought me here. Beautiful
Man life seemed so beautiful back then..
I'm Here because of The Shape Of Water..What a year.. 1943.. Thank you for that song and movie..
Oh gosh, that movie. I saw it a few weeks ago. They used this song so much! And that clip on the TV of Alice Faye singing this was surprising to me! I had no idea she sung it!!!! I looked it up and I THINK Alice Faye was the first to sing it... I could be wrong though.
the film and the song were very compatible
same here
I just saw the movie, The shape of water, I'm also here cause the movie, great movie
Filmler Odası same.also here because of shape of water
Rest in Paradise, Ma'am Vera Lynn! You're extraordinary life and big contribution to music during hardtimes will never be forgotten!!
I sang this to my hubby last night he blushes and saids aww
Forces Sweetheart, Vera Lynn. We Loved Listening To Her. Great Memories. SS.
Have been singing this song all week; remembering my Mother playing it on the piano and singing it with my Father. It holds a special place in my heart for a man who left and never came back.
My grandfather used to listen to her music. He used to listen to music from the '30's to the '60's...that music stayed with me.
incredible, what a voice Vera has. The orchestra is superb!!
I grew up listening to records of all the 1930s, 1940s, and some 50s when I was living in the Canal Zone from 1955-1968--my father who was born in PA knew loved all his records-- now that I'm 70 - I wish I had those records --brings back wonderful memories
I’m glad people still listen to this music. I feel like I’m the only 16 year old who would listen to this music every day on the radio
I'm not ashamed to admit that "The Shape of Water" sent me here b/c how else are we going to broaden our horizons? Some of the very best & most romantic music I've ever heard has come from the show, "Call the Midwife". I may not have been born until years later, but I still recognize a TRUE love song when I hear it...
time is gold because of songs like this
This is my mom's favorite song . Miss n love you Mama Priscilla 😘💗❤😥
back in the 50's, I used to watch old movies with my mom and to this day, I love a beautiful voice singing a beautiful song!
76 years ago this was a new song by my dear husband's great uncle, Harry Warren.!! Rest in peace dear Uncle Harry.
This is my era when songs could be understood and boy she was a great singer!!!!
I hope you are still alive and doing great! god bless you!
nato nel 1934 a 10 anni il mio cuore spasimava ascoltando questa canzone nel film e mi venivano le lacrime agli occhi....bramando già l'amore insito. Born in Egypt I heard in the movie this song...today I am back in the same mood 75 years ago
Happy "102" Birthday Vera!

Brasil. 21/05/2020, 17:49 pm . Hoje ouvindo essa linda música para me desviar a atenção da Pandemia que está levando milhares que gostavam dessa melodia
Still enjoying listening to Dame Vera Lynn. What a beautiful voice and repertoire she had.💖
What a time, what a grand time in history with so much war, despair and yet the human hope came through in some of the most beautiful music ever written. thank you to all who dreamed, fought, hoped, sorrowed, wrote and sang. Stephen King
It was the sob in the voice at a time in history when so many were in tears. A voice far more mature than I believe she was, having begun her career in her late teens and knocking them out.
Love that kind of movie and the soundtrack of THE SHAPE OF WATER..😊
This song is great!
A wartime favorite. She crafted her songs to provide a reminder that loveliness was still possible even in war. That message gave us the strength to go on fighting.
My Mother would sing this song, I loved to hear her sing, Sad she is no longer with me .Thank you for the memories.
a song for all times.
this was my grandmas favorite song. she died last year. Alzheimer's disease. this was the only thing she remembered. she didn't even remembered her husband
iah geraldino Sorry for your loss. ❤️
This really is majestic! What a beautiful rendition.
Thank you for sharing this gem.
Today would have been my mother's 99th birthday and I am really missing her. She was a part of "the Greatest Generation" and sang all of the wonderful songs of "The Great American Songbook" around the house. As I read all of the comments below, I am so touched. The comments are so sentimental and makes me grateful that we were all the children of the wonderful WWII generation. The composers of these songs as well as the lyricists were brilliant. The lyricists were "poets", writing words which expressed undying love and waiting to see their loved ones whom they miss so much. Vera Lynn sang with so much feeling. I think of today's young people who are now the same age that the majority of the soldiers were in WWII. The WWII families had no idea if their sons, husbands, sweethearts or brothers were alive or dead and had no idea of where they might be. The families were scared to death all the time that they might receive "the dreaded telegram" telling them that their son was either dead or missing. Today's (especially young) people think that it is terrible if someone doesn't reply to their text in 5 minutes. They wouldn't understand the beauty of these songs because they didn't go through the Depression as most of the WWII generation did. They are not tough as the WWII generation was and there is no way we could have won WWII without these tough soldiers. God bless all of them and God bless the wonderful songwriters and the singers (especially the great Vera Lynn) who helped us survive the War.
Almost too beautiful for words
One of the very best war songs,
Vera Lynn, my all time favorite singer. I'm glad to see new movies are bringing in new listeners. Her voice is one of the best. She deserves this recognition before she passes. For those who don't know, this amazing woman is still alive. Born in 1917, and now 101 years old. A true legend.
You'll never know just how much I miss you
You'll never know just how much I care
And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you
You ought to know, for haven't I told you so
A million or more times?
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my ev'ry prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
You said good-bye, no stars in the sky refuse to shine
Take it from me, it's no fun to be alone
With moonlight and memories
I speak your name in my ev'ry prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
You'll never know if you don't know now
my gran used to sing it to my granda, still get goosebumps when i hear it, vera lynn sounded amazing but my gran sang it so beautifully and heartfelt x
We will miss you Vera Lynn...You lived a good life...Thanks for the wonderful songs...2020 is the year of sorrows...
Ian L.Moore I grew up in WW2 listening to Vera, loved all her songs, she was an inspiration to our U.K and other soldiers. Her voice was angelic!🏴🇬🇧🇨🇦❤️💐
I didn't know this song was about going away to war. An elderly lady sings this beautifully in a nursing home I play guitar in. Up to now I always thought the person in the song just went away as is the routine practice of today's relationships, lol. But heading off to war it brought a tear to my eye. It expresses the desperation of those waiting for them to come home and wanting them to know they were loved.
Mum used to sing this to me as a child. Losing mum my heart went with her I cared for dad in my own way I never could replace that love.
her voice is so beautiful
My nanny used to sing this to me and my brother when we were kids ❤️💚
I remember my Mother singing this when I was a child and to see Vera's picture remind me how much Mum looked like her How lucky I was
so beautiful my dad who was English went away to war for 6 years and mum evacuated to Ireland with my siste
I always loved this song, it made me really happy to hear it in The Shape of Water. I love Guillermo del Toro's films. It was well deserving of the Oscar
This is the most romantic love song ever. Listening to her beautiful voice gives me shivers!! 💙
Family Guy first introduced me to this song. Shape of Water helped fan the flames of my love for it
I'm 53 my parents got married to this song imagine in this country United Kingdom if anything unfortunate happened to Vera Lynn my parents went through the Second World War my parents my parents adopted me when they were older this music I grew up on and Judy Garland I cannot believe it going to be a hundred that means you're virtually the same age as the Queen thank you so much for you done for this country your voice and you'll sing saved this country Grant he did you actually do the Battle of Britain but you gave us the confidence to do it thank you Daman Vera Lynn thank you again take care bye bye
