The London I Love

The London I Love - Vera Lynn/Arthur Young & His Orchestra

Written by：Posford/Purcell

I only have to close my eyes

And visions of a love arise

Changed though she may be

In dreams I'll always see

My London as the daylight dies

Street lamps aglow

And news boys calling

City I know

With twilight falling

Deep in my heart I keep recalling

The London I love

Small cosy bars

And cheerful greeting

Long lines of cars

And lovers meeting

Under the stars

A heart is beating

The London I love

Breathless and fast

The crowd hurries past

There's a glow in the London sky

Velvety dark

The trees in the park

Touch my heart and I don't know why

Mayfair hotels

Their windows beaming

Chiming of bells

The river gleaming

You are my dream

I'm always dreaming

The London I love

Bright coloured lights

Palladium nights

And a world that was always gay

All you have been

Will stay ever green

In my heart till another day

Laughter and song

And swing doors turning

When will these things

Be more than yearning

Come back my world

With bright lights burning

The London I love
