BTom was born in 1942 with eyes of blue
B/A#And the doctors said that his birth was far too fast
Emaj7His heart stopped twice, But yet he survived
B/A#As he took his first breathe, His mother took her last
Emaj7And his father knew that he wasn't to blame
B/A#But he never quite looked at Tom the same after that
Emaj7And he rarely spoke about her
F#maj7But when he did
B/A#He said your mother used to say this
Emaj7When the skies are looking bad my dear
BAnd your heart has lost all it's hope
Emaj7After dawn there will be sunshine
BAnd all the dust will go
B/A#Skies will clear my darling, I'll wake up with the one I love the most
Emaj7 F#maj7And in the morning, I'll make you up
B/A#Some tea and toast
Emaj7When we met through a friend who introduced them
B/A#The first thing Tom said was would you like to dance?
Emaj7They moved with each other and when the music got slower
B/A#He said don't let go of my hand
Emaj7He said It's only polite if I ask you tonight
B/A#Would it be alright, if I could walk you home?
Emaj7That night he told of his birth and said when it hurt
F#maj7 B/A# He thought about what his mother said about tea and toast
Emaj7Two quick years went by
F#maj7They were side by side
Emaj7 F#maj7And without a plan, they conceived a little child
Emaj7 He said women I love you and this you know
F#maj7But I only have enough for our food and clothes
G#maj7But I love you and this baby, until the day that I die
Emaj7She said we'll take care of this little life
F#maj7And we'll fall in love with her baby blue eyes
G#maj7And we'll be alright from some advice that I know
E F#She said I never got to meet her But if I did,
B/A# I'm sure your mother would have said this
Emaj7When the skies are looking bad my dear
BAnd your heart has lost all it's hope
Emaj7After dawn there will be sunshine
BAnd all the dust will go
B/A#Skies will clear my darling, I'll wake up with the one I love the most
Emaj7 F#maj7And in the morning, I'll make you up
B/A#Some tea and toast
Emaj7Well he took those words and he made them proud
F#maj7He worked day after day and hour after hour
G#maj7So that they could buy a little house on the outside of town
Emaj7The little girl grew up and so did they
F#maj7They said that they loved each other everyday
G#maj7And forty years later, that brings us to now
Emaj7And as they're walking down the street her grip loosens on his hand
F#maj7He puts his arm around her side as she falls to the ground
G#maj7He hears her breathing and that’s the only sound
Emaj7Her body on the floor attracts a worried crowd
F#maj7 G#maj7Tears rolls off his face as he says "don't let go, now"
Emaj7And he's sitting by her bed in the hospital ward
F#maj7 G#maj7Their daughter walks in with a family of her own
Emaj7She says "dad, I don't know if she can hear you now
F#maj7 G#maj7but there's one thing mum would want you to know"
Emaj7When the skies are looking bad my dear
BAnd your heart has lost all it's hope
Emaj7After dawn there will be sunshine
BAnd all the dust will go
B/A#Skies will clear my darling, I'll wake up with the one I love the most
Emaj7 F#maj7And in the morning, I'll make you up
B/A#Some tea and toast
