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