Tom was born in B1942 with eyes of blue
And the doctors said that his birth was far too fBast
Emaj7His heart stopped twice, But yet he survived
As he took his first breathe, His mother took her lBast
Emaj7And his father knew that he wasn't to blame
But he never quite looked at Tom the same after thBat
Emaj7And he rarely spoke about her
But when he dGbmaj7id
He said your mother used to say tBhis
Emaj7When the skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it's hopeB
Emaj7After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will goB
BSkies will clear my darling, I'll wake up with the one I love the most
Emaj7And in the morning, I'll make you Gbmaj7up
Some tea and toaBst
Emaj7When we met through a friend who Introduced them
The first thing Tom said was would you like to daBnce?
Emaj7They moved with each other and when the music got slower
He said don't let go of my haBnd
Emaj7He said It's only polite if I ask you tonight
Would it be alright, if I could walk you homBe?
Emaj7That night he told of his birth and said when it hurt
Gbmaj7He thought about what his mother said about tea and toaBst
Emaj7Two quick years went by
They were side by siGbmaj7de
Emaj7And without a plan, they conceived a little chiGbmaj7ld
Emaj7He said women I love you and this you know
Gbmaj7But I only have enough for our food and clothes
Abmaj7But I love you and this baby, until the day that I die
Emaj7She said we'll take care of this little life
Gbmaj7And we'll fall in love with her baby blue eyes
Abmaj7And we'll be alright from some advice that I know
EShe said I never got to meet her But if I diGbd,
I'm sure your mother would have said thiBs
Emaj7When the skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it's hopeB
Emaj7After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will goB
BSkies will clear my darling, I'll wake up with the one I love the most
Emaj7And in the morning, I'll make you Gbmaj7up
Some tea and toaBst
Emaj7Well he took those words and he made them proud
Gbmaj7He worked day after day and hour after hour
Abmaj7So that they could buy a little house on the outside of town
Emaj7The little girl grew up and so did they
Gbmaj7They said that they loved each other everyday
Abmaj7And forty years later, that brings us to now
Emaj7And as they're walking down the street her grip loosens on his hand
Gbmaj7He puts his arm around her side as she falls to the ground
Abmaj7He hears her breathing and that’s the only sound
Emaj7Her body on the floor attracts a worried crowd
Gbmaj7Tears rolls off his face as he says "don't let go, nAbmaj7ow"
Emaj7And he's sitting by her bed in the hospital ward
Gbmaj7Their daughter walks in with a family of her oAbmaj7wn
Emaj7She says "dad, I don't know if she can hear you now
Gbmaj7but there's one thing mum would want you to knoAbmaj7w"
Emaj7When the skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it's hopeB
Emaj7After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will goB
BSkies will clear my darling, I'll wake up with the one I love the most
Emaj7And in the morning, I'll make you Gbmaj7up
Some tea and toaBst
