                B
Tom was born in 1942 with eyes of 
blue
And the doctors said that his birth 
             B/A#
was far too fast
Emaj7
His heart stopped twice, But yet he 
survived
As he took his first breathe, His 
                 B/A#
mother took her last
Emaj7
And his father knew that he wasn't 
to blame
But he never quite looked at Tom the
              B/A#
 same after that

Emaj7
And he rarely spoke about her
             F#maj7
But when he did
He said your mother used to say 
B/A#
this

Emaj7
When the skies are looking bad my 
dear
And your heart has lost all it's 
    B
hope
Emaj7
After dawn there will be sunshine
                        B
And all the dust will go
B/A#
Skies will clear my darling, I'll 
wake up with the one I love the most
Emaj7                             
And in the morning, I'll make you 
F#maj7
up
                B/A#
Some tea and toast

Emaj7
When we met through a friend who 
introduced them
The first thing Tom said was would 
              B/A#
you like to dance?
Emaj7
They moved with each other and when 
the music got slower

                             B/A#
He said don't let go of my hand
Emaj7
He said It's only polite if I ask 
you tonight
Would it be alright, if I could walk
        B/A#
 you home?
Emaj7
That night he told of his birth and 
said when it hurt
F#maj7                         
He thought about what his mother 
                        B/A#
said about tea and toast

Emaj7
Two quick years went by
                    F#maj7
They were side by side
Emaj7                             
And without a plan, they conceived
             F#maj7
 a little child
Emaj7
He said women I love you and this 
you know
F#maj7
But I only have enough for our food 
and clothes
G#maj7
But I love you and this baby, until 
the day that I die
Emaj7
She said we'll take care of this 
little life
F#maj7
And we'll fall in love with her baby
 blue eyes
G#maj7
And we'll be alright from some 
advice that I know

E                                 
She said I never got to meet her 
          F#
But if I did,
I'm sure your mother would have said
    B/A#
 this

Emaj7
When the skies are looking bad my 
dear
And your heart has lost all it's 
    B
hope
Emaj7
After dawn there will be sunshine
                        B
And all the dust will go
B/A#
Skies will clear my darling, I'll 
wake up with the one I love the most
Emaj7                             
And in the morning, I'll make you 
F#maj7
up
                B/A#
Some tea and toast

Emaj7
Well he took those words and he made
 them proud
F#maj7
He worked day after day and hour 
after hour
G#maj7
So that they could buy a little 
house on the outside of town
Emaj7
The little girl grew up and so did 
they
F#maj7
They said that they loved each other
 everyday
G#maj7
And forty years later, that brings 
us to now
Emaj7
And as they're walking down the 
street her grip loosens on his hand
F#maj7
He puts his arm around her side as 
she falls to the ground
G#maj7
He hears her breathing and that’s 
the only sound
Emaj7
Her body on the floor attracts a 
worried crowd
F#maj7                            
Tears rolls off his face as he 
                  G#maj7
says "don't let go, now"

Emaj7
And he's sitting by her bed in the 
hospital ward
F#maj7                       
Their daughter walks in with a 
                 G#maj7
family of her own
Emaj7
She says "dad, I don't know if she 
can hear you now
F#maj7                            
but there's one thing mum would 
             G#maj7
want you to know"

Emaj7
When the skies are looking bad my 
dear
And your heart has lost all it's 
    B
hope
Emaj7
After dawn there will be sunshine
                        B
And all the dust will go
B/A#
Skies will clear my darling, I'll 
wake up with the one I love the most
Emaj7                             
And in the morning, I'll make you 
F#maj7
up
                B/A#
Some tea and toast
